Could you elaborate on what's "extreme" about SYRIZA? Some of them have their roots in communist parties, but their actual politics today seem very close to the politics of most european social democratic parties 20-30 years ago.
They aren't talking about revolution, a dictatorship of the proletarians or anything like this, they just think that Greece should default rather than living on unsustainable credits forever, that the Greek tax code should be changed and that corruption should be reduced. What's "extreme" about that?
Down in this thread someone posted a link about drivers are covered by Uber insurance while using the Uber app.

This is somewhat of a response to a lot of discussion recently about how Angular2 doesn't have two-way data binding. It's sort of funny because two-way data binding is a really nice feature for prototyping and getting people started, but it is horrible for building large, robust web apps. I think the Angular team made the right move here, but I hope that they are able to come up with other easy ways to get people started on Angular and enable quick prototyping.

Net Neutrality, Apple, and the Future of TV
Constrained input that is processed according to what the program knows about each "key" it contains, with keys defined in advanced and effectively specifying a data structure or file format, is actually very common.
Example: HTML, XML and similar kinds of text markup; tagged file formats, e.g. PNG; the traditional application to programming language keywords.

Good luck with the job and the move.
This. I receive far more "professional" service from Uber than I do from my local taxi service because Uber drivers are actually held accountable for their behavior, meaning:

-They show up when they say they will and do so quickly

-They take my preferred method of payment (credit card) without question

-They are transparent about the route they are taking and they don't try to screw me over

-The cars are clean and reasonably new

-The drivers don't talk on the phone the entire time or listen to music

-They don't drive like maniacs to complete the trip as quickly as possible

I can safely say none of these things about local cabs where I live.

Except that you underestimate the effort in incorporating the "framework" in your new project. Sure it isn't hard per se, but the steps involved in learning every bit of a process that surrounds the framework kills the excitement at some point or other. Like in rails, learning all the routing, code generators, forms, asset pipelines just makes you quit at some point.

I think things would be much easier if I had "grown" with rails as its features grew, but now, it being a behemoth, I would be pretty much disinterested in going in the effort of learning it just so I can make my shiny new project.

The learning would be much easier, if I get to work on existing codebase but then again, it is a chicken-and-egg problem.

I'm not describing a zero-sum economy. It's possible that NJ suffers a net local loss, even if that's more than outweighed by a net benefit in NJ + CA. And even if NJ enjoys a net local benefit, you still have a bunch of people out of work in return for everyone paying slightly lower prices for cars. In a place like NJ, where unemployment is the #1, #2, and #3 concern, you can see why legislators would be gun-shy about getting rid of local protections in the name of economic idealism.

You're mistaking something that's sometimes necessary, or something that makes people happy, for something that creates value.

Nothing new is created when ownership changes hands, as in the case of me possessing the money to buy a house, where before I didn't.

A change of ownership, or a new contract that two people have signed, or a promise to do something, none of that adds value to the world. The value is in the doing.

A few points:

I got the idea from the top comment [1] (in a hindsight, I should actually have replied to it instead of starting the new comment thread).

Particularly this part:

> This backlash agains the 'old block' and what is called 'traditional politics' started when comedians, artists and musicians (among others) started the 'Besti flokkurinn' (Best Party) and won the elections for city council in Reykjavík ?five? years ago.

I am aware of the origin of the label at the international level, but it looked to me that in this particular case the origin dynamics were closer to Grillo's.

The standard English version of "lie" is to state something which you believe to be untrue.

The police version of "lie" is to state something that actually is untrue.

The difference is important because human memory is fallible. You can "lie to the police" while saying nothing but what you believe to be the truth.

"It's OK to talk to the police as long as you don't lie" may be true, but it's also completely useless, because it's impossible to guarantee.

Postgres does have a bit/varbit which may have been closer to your use case, though you're correct that there's no native bitcount (assuming by "bitcount" you mean "count the number of bits set to 1 in the field).

Also even with CHECK constraints being available, the question of unsigned ints seems frequent enough that there's at least one extension implementing unsigned types: https://github.com/petere/pguint (no idea about the quality or production-readiness).

Heh Alex — the Meteor posse has arrived to this thread (I'm a big Meteor fan too!) I'll echo some of the others, that any issues with Meteor being ready for primetime don't have to do with the issues you cited, but more around being unproven to scale at high traffic (also not disproven).

I've been using Meteor since early 2013 on all my web projects, and for me the core team goes to the correct feature depth — there's 4000+ packages on Atomosphere — it'd be really hard to determine how deep they should go pulling things into the core.
If you approximate the positions of the pin numbers as independent exponential distributions with parameter λ = 1/10000. Then the expected value of the maximum is the sum of 10000/k for k = 1 to 10000 [1], which is approximately 1000*(log(1000)+γ) with γ = 0.57721... [2]. This gives the following values for the expected number of digits needed to get all k-digit pin numbers:

k | n

------------

4 | 97,875.6

5 | 1,209,014.1

6 | 14,392,726.2

7 | 166,953,113.2

8 | 1,899,789,640.9

Which agrees reasonably well with the actual values, at least those found so far.

See the continuum hypothesis. The cardinality of the real numbers is two raised to the power of the cardinality of the natural numbers. So: given that there are a countably infinite number of divisions, each doubling the pixel count, there must be uncountably many pixels that result.

This is more obvious if you simply view the "infinite screen" as a bounded region of space with coordinates denoted by pairs of real numbers.

What exactly is your point in this thread? Are you somehow trying to draw an analogy between Bill Gates and "mass murdering dictators"?

We get it. Bill Gates made some reprehensible business decisions, in his time, that hurt people. He also made some good ones, and created vast amounts of wealth for many, many people. Microsoft continues to do so. I'd argue it nets out. Now, in the twilight of his life, he's spending his time and wealth helping society.

He didn't destroy the software world, or its "culture". What is it you do that allows you to throw so many stones?

Do you think President Obama is naive and idealistic as well? He's started to argue for the same. (http://www.infowars.com/obama-calls-for-mandatory-voting/) Since his term is nearing its end, he's becoming more fearless in talking about the influence of big money in politics and how making it easier to vote would greatly reduce its influence.

And yes, you are in my generation (Y). Please enlighten me in ways big money influences politics that cannot possibly be stopped by the democratic process.
It was more like a 14 month death march of 100+ hour weeks, so there really was no "next week", as there was no end in sight for most of it. That's what it is like with hardware, especially late hardware that the entire company is riding on.

After the thing finally shipped, most of the team effectively took off the next 4 months, working ~4 hours or fewer hours a day, etc. But those 14 months were hell.
The PC was the greatest tool given to man in a long time, the Internet would have been impossible without it. What is your beef? That Gates was a fierce competitor in a competitive business?
Your two sentences rather contradict each other - if an employee is already being paid what they're worth they should be unable to negotiate a higher salary or find a higher-paid job.
I'm actually german and I'll take the bait. Ramstein, one of the largest US Airbases in Europe is in a pretty desolate area of Germany. A lot of american troops pass through there (to and from Iraq and Afghanistan). The soldiers bring money and jobs - it would be political suicide for the local politics to demand a withdrawal. Heidelberg and Würzburg have large deployments as well.

It's not like we could not shoulder the economic impact, in terms of the gross domestic product that's a tiny amount, it's rather that in terms of how the political landscape looks like we don't want to. (It would probably also require to sift more budget to the military etc.).

However, I doubt that the US military would give up its Airbases in Ramstein and Frankfurt over Snowden. They're far to important in the current conflicts in the middle east.

>People often forget that dealerships often abuse their power and take advantage of consumers.

Don't worry we're reminded everytime we interact with them. Nothing says captive monopoly like an auto dealership. I'm buying a new car soon and am dreading the experience. I'm leaning towards a used car that's still on warranty because of how bad the dealership experience is and the various ways they try to scam you (hidden costs, poor financing, insulting your credit score to hike interest, trade-in scams, MSRP games, overpriced dealer add-ons, etc).

I watched as a salesman did a "pull the keys" at a Jeep dealership. It was so obviously fake. Another salesman just walked up, took the keys from my salesman, and said, "We have others interested in this game" to pressure me. I saw that guy through the glass walls. He didn't have a customer. He just pocketed them and looked at once once in a while in anticipation.

Not to mention how they treat women like shit. The things my wife puts up at the dealership is inexcusable. They tried to get her to pay, out of pocket, a engine rebuild for a car on warranty. I pretty much had to yell at them to honor it and call my lawyer.

I'm pretty critical of Tesla, but I do think their no-haggle Saturn-like policy is excellent. If Tesla survives long enough to sell an affordable electric with great range, its a no-brainer buy for me.

I'd be very doubtful if the Falklands were overrun tomorrow (though that's probably less likely with the base there[1]).

The idea of liquid democracy is appealing because the issues are all opt-in. If there is a particular topic you feel passionate about, say funding stem-cell research, you can choose to vote on it. Maybe not everyone cares about who runs for X office, but I think giving people the option is always the better choice. Doesn't Italy have like the highest youth unemployment rate in Europe? I'd bet some young people have a lot to say on the matter.
