Why?
I've seen worse than that... "Please call (NUMBER) regarding a medical issue." that's it, and the number wasn't my doctor's office's published number, and I called the office to check, it was legit. That's absolutely horrible in terms of actual security and rings of a scam was my first reaction.

I really wish that more companies would back the robo dialers with real people who can actually listen/respond to the outgoing message. There's some standards to detect voicemail vs. an actual response, just the same nothing replaces real people with a working mind. For a while I had my outgoing message prefixed with the disconnected tone. That was a fun way of getting off of call lists.
Macincloud is enough.

If you dont have mac, and belive in xamarin,

My sugestion is try build on android first,

If have good respond from customer, then buy mac and porting to iOS

Porting xamarin android to iOS is very easy if you have mvvm knowledge
Nothing is the antithesis of something. The one constant there is, is nothing. Nothing isn't what you can see, but what you cannot. What is becomes nothing. Everything is nothing.
I was one of those people who heard of the photo editor tool before I watched Pulp Fiction. I had no idea why the name was so controversial.
I don't understand how you can say that, even if you were to search all non-black objects and none were ravens, this would prove that all ravens are black. It also might prove, there aren't any ravens.

And, even if you were to find a black raven, it might just mean that you were mistaken and it either wasn't black or wasn't a raven. Thousands of years ago, the Chinese nominalist philosophers built an entire school out of saying, "A white horse is not a horse", and if you read what they said, they were right. You can say, "A white raven is not a raven" but I think you'd be wrong, because it's easy to paint a white raven, especially if you use a dark background. And please, don't tell me, it's the same with a white horse, without reading a bit of Chinese nominalist philosophy.

And besides, what is black, actually?

I assume bamf refers to x-men comics where "bamf" was the onomatopoeia for the demonic character Nightcrawler's teleportation.
It didn't make sense to me until I read this:

from the article:

"Some of this increased spending in education has been driven by a sharp rise in the percentage of Americans who go to college."

from the comments:

"The money PER STUDENT was slashed. That is what matters for the cost to each student."… "This is an elaborate lie, to justify what is indefensible without the help of such lies."
The article is about state schools though.
Is that why we pronounce "country" the way we do?
It's not hard to tell the difference between an outfit that looks good and an outfit that looks bad. I think you advice is flawed. Maybe people like you seek to validate yourself by asking for others opinion about what you should wear in order to impress other people, but you shouldn't assume everyone else needs other persons validation.
Best tip I ever got was to not mix wasabi into your soy sauce.

Instead, dab a small amount of wasabi directly on the nigiri, then dip into clean soy sauce. You then enjoy the intense wasabi, and the flavor is separated from the soy.
Gleick's biograpy of Newton is outstanding, covering not just his physics and math work but his alchemy, and why he undertook that research.
Well the article disagrees with that claim, "Appropriations per student are much higher now than they were in the 1960s and 1970s, when tuition was a small fraction of what it is today." so I guess it would be time to go to the references/data if we had them.
Frustrating and ironic that Netflix would never support any open source desktops, despite being dependent on and developers of so many open source tools. I would tell me friends how great open source software is and convince them to let me install Linux on their computer, but then they find that open source can't even do something as simple as watch netflix videos. I would have be all aplogetic and mess with wine to install microsoft silverlight (later pipelight...only recently can use the official google chrome binary), but I'm sure that exercise just left them believing that open source is complicated and inferior.
Chrome. I like how chrome looks more, and I use a google account so everything is integrated really well into Chrome. I've also never had a reason to switch because everything just works on Chrome.
This is going to sound incredibly hipster coming from a European, but something feels intensely satisfying about using chopsticks. As tools they're inferior to fork and knife in many ways, but something about leaving food items whole as prepared instead of penetrating them, or cutting them up, makes for a nice experience. It's a relaxing way to eat. Perhaps as a nod to Western cutlery I personally like Korea's flat metal chopsticks the best: http://i.imgur.com/Z1Lt2HPl.jpg or http://i.imgur.com/FUzNuoB.jpg
Part of it is also a social signaling factor. Because eduction is a superior good and a positional good, there's pressure for it to get ever more expensive (at least on paper). After all, if the Johnsons' kids are going to a $40,000/year school, you want to make sure your little darling goes to at least a $45,000/year school.

The secret is that many elite colleges give such generous financial aid that only the extremely wealthy are paying full freight. But it still makes the college looks good to have an astronomically high sticker price.
uh, what part of my post doesn't apply to state schools?
I've been trying to. But one big roadblock is the need for all the call signs in Phabricator.

Some of our core work is now on Phabricator, but there are a number of sharp edges to cut yourself on when you make the switch and this holds back the wholesale switch from using Phabricator as a "Project Mangement, Bug Tracker, Wiki, etc, tool", to using it as "Source Code Hosting + Project Management + Bug Tracker, Wiki, etc." and getting all the extra integration benefits for our repos.

Most of these have future answers in the form of work currently on the drawing board by the devs. Waiting for the PEBKAC aka Nuance tools drives me nuts. They are great devs, but sometimes the slow pace of progress on some things hurts. CI tooling via Drydock & Harbourmaster has been in progress for at least 2 years now, Nuance has been in the wiki ahead of proper project creation for quite some time now too.

Really hope that the Launch of Phacility brings them the resources to speed up development.
If there's anything we've learned as AI moves forward, it's that introspecting about how the human mind works doesn't help much. We're just not wired for enough internal access to look at how our own minds work.

Machine learning is starting to demonstrate that something that starts to look semi-intelligent can be built, using rather simple techniques and enough compute power. Convolutional neural networks don't take much code to implement. They just hammer hard on a simple numerical computation. The amazing thing is that it works.

For Android this could be possible.

For iOS I think you would have to figure out how to hook up MS runtime to a LLVM AOT compiler and then do all the work Mono team did to make sure libraries compile/work without JIT.

I really hope Xamarin guys follow Microsoft lead and make entry level version of their product free. It's not just about the ~25$ per month, it's about community as well - say some guy X is maintaining .NET library Y. I write up a port/pull for Xamarin - X goes "sweet but I can't test that since I don't own Xamarin and I can't even include it in my test suite to not break it further". Now I have to maintain a branch of Y for Xamarin and most other people are likely not going to find it or willing to use it.

I don't know which % of their profit comes from the indie licensing but if it's not significant as I suspect I would hope that they see this - it will help both their adoption and the OSS community build tools for their product.
What our office learned working naked for one month
This article seems to have gone out of its way to list a lot of aggregate numbers that increased while comparing it to per-student tuition.

Also, there could be more factors than just the increased percentage of people who go to college. The tuition increase could also include increased administrative costs or spending on extracurricular activities such sports. I know that when I was attending UC Davis, we saw an increase to pay for the new computer labs that were being installed.

> We're just not wired for enough internal access to look at how our own minds work.

How can you justify saying this, given we (as a species) are less than 100 years into the exploration of our own minds? At best, you could argue that we do not yet have the vocabulary to argue how our minds work. It's a bit early to suggest we "are not wired" to understand our own cognition.
One suggestion, I set my voicemail on my actual phone to the disconnect tones followed by a very long random message... I use an mvno that doesn't let my set conditional forwarding.

Love GV been using it for years.
I ate cheese every day for most of my childhood all through my early adult years. It was quite literally my favoriye food. Snack, meals, I had it all day long.

During a 2-year period, I started getting sicker and sicker to the point where I was missing work on a regular basis. Cut dairy out of my diet, and now I have no issues.

Lactose intolerance crept up on me like an assassin.
Very good summary! Just one clarification, I'm pretty sure it wasn't a specific transaction that exceeded the lock count, it was the block produced by a v0.8 miner, while being within the max block size, the number and/or types of transactions within that block caused the BDB maximum lock count to be exceeded.
Well, I was talking about high-yield investments and you are talking about crowdfunding. But that is my fault because the person I replied to was also talking about crowdfunding.

However, I don't think people are spending money they can't afford to lose on crowdfunding projects, either. They are spending money they can afford to lose.
Works quite well, what are the legal implications for you, the host?
Object Oriented Ontology
That's like asking when in history was there some catastrophic era where particles were flying into some organisms' eyes and the only individuals that survived were those who (through genetic mutations) had small hairs around their eyes that managed to catch some of the particles.
This is the fallacy in government providing low-cost loans to everyone. Unless the supply of colleges increases, it just ends up increasing demand for the same supply, driving up prices - and producing a boatload of graduates with mortgage-sized student loans. All on the assumption that the degree will give them increased earning power, which is increasingly unlikely in today's economy.
$25 for lunch, $80++ for dinner. (I don't know much about restaraunt pricing in the US, but I think I get the reason that almost every Tokyo place does this. You pay for your own lunch, every day. Dinner, however, is generally paid for by someone else -- coworker/client/company/boyfriend/etc. Accordingly, restaurants plan for a bit of price insensitivity there, where lunch is a bloodbath of every store trying to capture additional custom at ~1,000 yen.)
The easiest way to get sushi quick is to order it a la carte, at the bar, when they're not busy.

Ever go to a place and see a little card and pencil with a column each for Nigiri and Maki, with individual fish listed and a quantity line next to it? There you mark down what you want and how many pieces each. Fill out like three of them and submit them to your server after you've got your drinks settled, and you should get them pretty quick. If they don't have these cards, you may not get your order quickly.

Sometimes it's hit or miss; check the reviews online first. Back where I grew up in Florida there was a place where you'd get your order in less than two minutes, but the quality wasn't very good.

For an 'authentic experience', you want a simple place with an old japanese guy or two behind a bar watching a baseball game on a tiny tube TV, possibly with some shouting going on. This is super rare in the US from my perspective, but I have found a few places like this in south florida, so you may have luck elsewhere too.

For just a 'good sushi' experience, you want either a japanese convenience store that makes sushi to order, a super pretentious expensive place pretending to be a high end sushi/sake bar, or a place that randomly has a really well trained chef that imports really quality ingredients [which is typically only pretentious expensive places]. Food blogs are a good resource, though they can often be more pretentious than the restaurants.

I like to try out new places and order either chirashi or whatever the chef's nigiri special is, maybe with tuna or beef tataki beforehand to see their prep skills. Most places that don't have japanese chefs fuck up the tataki, and you can usually predict the rest of the quality from there. If you don't get paper thin slices or they come back over-seared, your sushi is gonna be sub-par.

Note: the best sushi i've ever eaten in my life was last year at the now-closed Barracuda in the Castro, so don't overthink it, just order some nigiri and see what happens.
I think it's pretty timeless too. But still, I imagine there was a huge shift in this area after bitcoin became more well-known, so the fact that the article comes before that point in time matters. And given bitcoin's reputation, I just assumed the article was about bitcoin from the title. (I say this as someone who is a big fan of bitcoin.)

You are right about pirateat40. I was paying attention to it at the time. It was not at all certain that it was a ponzi scheme. However, let me make one comment for other people who may not be so familiar with it. It became completely obvious that it was probably a Ponzi scheme, early enough for people to take their money out of it who didn't want to just gamble. Of course, I admit, that's a subjective analysis.
You may find this disassembler port to Java I did useful. [JayD](http://github.com/ianopolous/JayD) it's more accurate than both objdump and its source, udis86, after I used it as the base for the [JPC emulator](http://github.com/ianopolous/JPC).
I find that the Man pages on BSD-derived systems are generally quite exceptional, where as GNU-based systems seem to be less so. `info` seems to be their attempt at making a better `man`, but it's pretty hit-or-miss if a Linux-based project thats not from the FSF supports infopages over manpages.
Why do many people change outfits almost every day?

Well, you're going to change clothes every day, so why not add some variety? Plus different outfits for different contexts, of course.
Frequent-ish polling of a file will keep looking for it in the nearby nodes. I suppose it would be smart enough to build up a network around a specific file. If it's close enough to real time, it could be a real solution
bad-ass motherfker daemon?
don't to that please.

1. you could get it wrong.

2. that is not the intended use for an API like that.

3. it would be better if you spent your time to report or collect information to help law enforcement catch them.

It might be fun to use the API to hurt them but you're effectively stooping to their level if you did... and in the process remember you're hurting twilio if you do that.
You don't know what a Ponzi scheme is, that's clear.
Indeed, the title could said "The Cycle For...", but unfortunately I don't seem to be able to edit submission titles.
I don't think Bitcoin is a Ponzi scheme myself but if you follow any Bitcoin forums you will frequently find people promising returns.
Or read through Python's docs and find the hidden Monty Python references :-)
Well, yeah. I worked in cable TV distribution systems years ago. Family business, we owned or maintained a handful of CATV/MATV systems around the south bay.

Anyway, TV was a big deal for a lot of people. People in mobile home parks who were barely scraping by would want expensive packages with ESPN and the like. Minor disruptions occasionally made people furious (as a smaller system, equipment replacement usually meant that a channel had to be off for a few minutes, and the downtime got worse as satellite equipment got "better").

Even now, go to an apartment complex and see how many small dishes you see.

It's been like this for a long, long time and Comcast and Time Warner and a few others have converted their considerable wealth into political influence to make sure that they have a locked in and minimally competitive market for a long time to come.

For those that aren't so interested in TV (like me), "high speed" internet access has become a staple.

Google is the only real newsworthy disruption of the big ISPs in recent history. If Musk does get a low-orbit satellite network going, that might change the game a bit. Otherwise, we're all just stuck with this situation for the foreseeable future.
So if I make a call with an outgoing VoIP service and set my caller-id to a particular number, what gets sent as the ANI?

The scammers are definitely using a VoIP service around here anyway...

Though my understanding is that ANI isn't blockable by the caller. So if you have a toll-free number, you can see the calling number for callers that have blocked their caller id.
> No one is promising a return

Then it isn't a Ponzi scheme, period. A Ponzi is a scam where you're lied to about a fake investment that doesn't exist and promised a return in a certain amount of time, your money is then paid to past investors as their return. Bad investments aren't Ponzi's just because people lose money.

All that shit you're talking about is called speculation. Just because idiots sound alike doesn't make the thing they're talking about the same. Pyramid schemes and Ponzi schemes are very particular things: fake investments where no commodity or good exists, money machines that fail because people are lied to and tricked and don't have the sense to understand exponential growth. If you aren't tricked into it, it isn't a Ponzi scheme, if there's a real underlying commodity like Bitcoin, it isn't a Ponzi or Pyramid scheme.

Stop using words you don't understand.
Basically, I think you are missing the difference in meaning between "absolute" and "basic".
I might be dense but it took me a bit of hunting to locate the online demo at http://demo.titon.io/

Possibly because on iOS when I scroll to the bottom of the page with a quick flick, the site navigation goes kinda wonky and covers some of the page content.
I hate heavy and opinionated frontend framework like bootstrap. I have been using Pure css and plain css/js/html to do some prototype and really enjoyed the process, and the only concern is I'm not great at design, so all the prototypes I did don't feel like modern and slick.

I started trying Web Starter Kit[1] recently and really like it, it's light with principle of "don't get in your way", it has very fine default design feeling yet still allow you to easily customize the look and feel.

Toolkit looks like it's even lightweight and share the similar "minimal" principle, I will give it a try and see if it provides enough out of box, and I hope to see more of this kind of light yet modern frontend framework.

Yes: While my main browser is Safari at least once a day on the desktop I want to be logged into Twitter at the same time on three different accounts so Firefox and Chrome are the default for a single Twitter account.

Although with web dev stuff I'm always looking at test sites and other sites in multiple browsers (this includes a corner of my studio which has a range of tablets in different sizes and a few different makes of smartphones). And while I can resize on my desktop, I like to hold the device to see how a website feels, animates and sounds.

I guess I should also note that my testbed includes a dusty PC with ancient IE installs and that on Android I look at sites in both the stock Android browser and Android Chrome.
Speculating: This frustration occurs when an API doesn't cue the user to a useful mental-model. Then the user has to fall-back on a strategy that has a tinge of ritual lever-pulling.
Chrome. Speed for me. and easier comparability. Chrome also feels like a more secure browser than Firefox.
I prefer dipping my sushi in wasabi mixed with soy sauce and I don't care how anybody else things I should eat it.
This short subtitled ethnological documentary helps illustrate traditional Japanese sushi etiquette in a manner accessible to Westerners. While complex and at times daunting, proper study of these details (hand positions, head angles, intonation) will be repaid many-fold over a lifetime of increased sushi enjoyment.

Highly recommended, even for sushi "experts": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yfMqN2vu2Hg
I've been using Kivy. But decided if I did native, I'd only support iOS. Mostly because I don't want to go down the rabbit hole of having to support some random Android device.

So I'm looking at learning more about Swift and that ecosystem someday. I don't know C# but I certainly see Xamarin as an upgraded version of Kivy.. obviously going from a free platform to a paid one. It's something I've keeping my eye on for quite some time.

If I ever find Kivy and the native iOS development combo to not meet my needs, Xamarin is the next stop for me.
How about "git"?
Say "Oh yes, I will get them, just wait a few moments", then put the phone down and come back some time later.

ELIZA or other natural language responder could be effective too.
"“In the larger sushi shops, the smell of the fish escapes because the ceilings are too high to contain them,” says Yajima-san. “Smaller places are where they serve the best food. Their size captures the flavor.”"

Oh, Christ...
They're a government service, and are not - theoretically - supposed to charge market rates.
The author of the article is from Boulder... they just started on a $63M rec center renovation and they have a pool in the shape of a buffalo. There are only 30,000 students, so right there is $2,000 per student on a portion of the facilities that isn't involved in teaching.

It may be a pyramid scheme, but you're right that the definition of a ponzi-scheme involves lying about how revenue streams and expenses.
