Bullies proactively seek to hurt others for their own amusement.

This is definition is too narrow, in my opinion. Workplace bullying, for example, isn't just for amusement, or even to hurt others deliberately.

I would define a bully as anyone or any group that uses coercion to get their way, rather than persuasion. Alternatively I would say a bully wantonly throws their weight around.

As such, using the power of the FBI to seize equipment as the first response to an unproven alert is bullying.
That's the original version. The harder version is discussed below. In the harder version, you don't know the words are "da" and "ja". They might be "potato" and "walrus" or something completely different.

My problem with this argument is that the FM frequenzy changes inside tunnels in Norway. There is probably a reason for it, but it means that you will have to change to a different frequenzy to continue listening to the same station. In most cases, you will have to read the sign infront of the tunnel to know the frequenzy for that tunnel. In practice, it means you live without radio for the few minutes you are in the tunnel.
Well, I absolutely believe a 3d printer should find a home in tinkerer's workshops. It seems like it would yet another tool for building or crafting things. But I think the market for them is vastly overstated. Opening a dedicated store for the devices seems like opening a store dedicated to selling nothing but a couple tiers of tablesaws.

Hardware stores sell all kinds of DIY equipment, it seems to me that this is where they probably ultimately need to be channeled through.
I prefer commemorating the endurance of imperial stupidity to glorifying victories. In that respect I think Australia and New Zealand get it right.

Lest we forget.
The list of things you are nkt allowed to take over a border is very much greater than "things that will kill someone or destroy a plane".

I've seen that a couple of times, startups that insisted on rolling their own code for everything instead of using standard tools.

I worked one place that wrote their own build tool (instead of using Make or Visual Studio). They wrote their own templating engine, instead of using PHP or ASP. They had their own version of MFC and String library, with everything implemented slightly weird, so I had look at the source whenever I needed to know how it actually worked. It was nuts. They spent a year writing their own tools for everything, which was a year they didn't spend working on the product.
>But especially here in the UK, almost no VOD services support even basic subtitles, let alone multiple audio tracks.

Sky Go and Now TV still don't support subtitles. It is infuriating.

Amazon Instant Video however, since very late last year, have subtitles for some of their content. They didn't even put out a press release as far as I can see. They just snuck it in there. The excellent flagship series "Bosch" has subtitles. "Alpha House" doesn't.

I've not had cause to check ITV player or check whatever 5's VoD service is called, but 4oD and iPlayer both have subtitles.

One thing that really pisses me off is that not all of the BBC originated content has subtitles on Netflix. Ridiculous.
You know `The Great War` has a really great episode about Gallipoli. This channel does a good job of talking about the actual scale of human loss that occurred during the war. That was something I was never able to conceptualize before.

They never had my cv before the technical interview. I had participated in one of their code jams and was contacted to gauge my interest and setup a technical interview.
How was Page and Brin paper on web indexing by graph connectivity received back in the days ? I get that being PhD students, paper reference numbers may be a simple thing to imagine and realize. But it was still a lot better than the technical foundation of common web search at that point. I think I remember only altavista used crawlers + index, and may not have ideas like page connectivity to sort results, while other websites being only hand collected directories.
You realize that in most US states, software engineers can now sit for a PE license in software engineering, right? This has been possible in a few states since 2012, when the NCEES started offering the PE license exam in software engineering.

This is the same license that electrical, mechanical, structural engineers get, with the same initial Fundamentals of Engineering exam followed by the subject matter (P&P) exam (usually after verification of a certain amount of experience).

It's ironic your username is 'spectre', because that's exactly what Gallipoli and the ANZAC legend casts over modern Australia.

I have 12 y.o. working HP laptop in active use

I am still using HP Pavilion zt3000 (Intel Centrino 1.7GHz, 1.25Gb RAM, 120Gb PATA HDD, 1280 x 800) which I've bought in 2003 for about $2,300 CAD or so - http://www.cnet.com/products/hp-pavilion-zt3010us-15-4-penti...

It was my main lappy up until a year ago, and it has been travelling across North America and Eastern Europe with me with no issues.

It is now on its 3rd HDD, and original battery which lasts about 20 min now - not a problem since it is always plugged in. Everything else works real great, and it has MATTE monitor 1280 x 800. Everything works flawless, keyboard has no issues at all, other than looking a bit used :)

In fact HDD being PATA (not SATA) was the main reason why I have got myself used ThinkPad T-420 and stuffed it with dual SSD's (2nd SSD in an extra swappable CD-ROM bay from China for $10 shipping included), 16Gb of RAM, and used dual monitor docking station. Really hate that 13" 1600 x 900 screen - it is just too small after 15.4" on HP, and I also have to run fonts on 150%. Still taking my time to hook it up as my main rig through dock and dual monitors. Mostly using it now through Remote Desktop when I need Win 7 / Visual Studio 2013.

All these years I was hoping to wait over Win8 and glossy monitors, so with Win10 this summer I may actually get myself a new laptop - let's see if Microsoft has finally learned how not to screw their desktop users with tablet-optimized UI
Yeah, I agree, large media companies have tried to commoditize music and chase profits by squeezing blood out of the stone they've created. But like the sibling commont by kristopolous points out, ratings have absolutely tanked, and I personally believe it's because even lowest common listeners want to hear something other than commercials or the same 3 songs all day.

Even people who like Taco Bell don't eat it every meal.

I think a more challenging problem is that with radio rapidly dying, the music publishers still act like they're the prime advertising medium, and that online streamers should be brought in line with the traditional radio model. The industry is a mess and I can't help keep thinking that it's because they brought it on themselves.
Angular is naturally a poor choice for social networking sites.

The reason being, is because the 2 way data binding requires a metric crap ton of listeners. Once you hit about 1000 listeners Angular tends to crap out a bit.

It is better for dynamic sites hosting more or less static content. Not for social.
> A typical city centre in Europe would have been the entirety of the city at some point and is therefore where the most historic buildings, oldest businesses etc. are located.

Well, the same is true in NA in lots of places, but I think the difference is something else: historic buildings imply that you can't just tear them down and build something nicer, and the oldest buildings in cities I've lived in, here in the US, are not the nicest ones; rather the reverse.

As someone who spent most of my formative years in the southern US, my expectation is that the nicest part of town is the one that was just built, and older streets and buildings are literally the ones where people have to be if they don't have the money to scrub that away and build shiny new things, or just move to newer places. This is quite a difference even from the northeastern US, so I can only imagine how stark the difference must be from the US to Europe. Oddly, while I spent a few days in Dublin a few years back for an interview, I don't remember noticing everything looking old and run down there.
Define our identities? There's hardly anyone (relatively speaking, by comparison to say the US's independence day) outside of Australia/New Zealand that even know about Galipoli.

It's explicitly designed to work outside that single sphere:

Memex seeks to develop software that advances online search capabilities far beyond the current state of the art. The goal is to invent better methods for interacting with and sharing information, so users can quickly and thoroughly organize and search subsets of information relevant to their individual interests....

Memex would ultimately apply to any public domain content; initially, DARPA plans to develop Memex to address a key Defense Department mission: fighting human trafficking.

What's the problem if it isn't made yet?

This is a better strategy, see if theres a big enough market. They're also building the list so that their launch will be good and they don't have to spam it everywhere else, they just alert the people who already expressed interest.

There's nothing wrong with finding demand first, smart startups do this all the time.
Yes they are because it's the same grid as 2015. Power grids are built to last centuries, they are not replaced or changed quickly.
Half the value in this is that it's not the Play store which is blocked in China and practically inaccessible on a phone without the Play store app pre-installed. And they won't let you install it yourself. You've really got to fight to get access.
This might need some updating. I did a quick run through and it recommended me to use a table-cell for vertical centering. You might be able to do that more easily with flexbox.
Angular 2 is built for tomorrow. It uses a lot of apis either not available (and so must be shimmed which is slow) or not optimised in today's browsers.

Presence of a "-v" flag usually means verbose.
As stated below, the real problem is wage suppression by those with the money. As more wealth gets concentrated to a few, they can decide what someone is worth. That is why there is no middle class. Everyone is replaceable and everyone that contacts customers / provides services gets paid shit, but the managers / vice presidents / presidents, etc... that go to meetings all day, make bank.

Trust me, I work for a hospital and entry salaries are insultingly low, poverty level, but there are a bajillion managers / vice presidents that I am sure make six figures. Not sure what they do all day, but I know they don't participate in patient care.

Me, I'm a surgeon and do just fine, but it's crazy how little the support staff in the OR make. Even when they're awesome.

I remember when I was first learning CSS and I found out this wasn't easy. I thought "oh my god, this learning to code stuff is gonna be HARD!"

A few years later and I don't think anything but the occasional third party api with undocumented behavior has been nearly as hard.

Xavier Niel is the founder, not the director. He donated money for it.

He's one of the only french businessmen having actually disturbed anything in France, a country where "innovation" is usually driven by publicly owned big companies and public grants. He has driven telecommunication prices down dramatically with his internet provider company, and then his mobile phone carrier. Internet is cheap in France mainly thanks to him.

I trust him probably more than anybody else in France to actually achieve something disturbing the system in place, precisely because he's one of the very very few that has done it before and he does not come from the elite making system of "grandes écoles".

Amusing fact, he started his fortune with sex messaging newtorks on the french precursor of internet, the Minitel.
> Maybe there is an element of mental illness, I don't know. I had lunch with a psychologist once and he tried saying, "Seriously, listen to me, you are mentally ill." I guess he thought I was crazy - maybe I am - but I never went in to see him. I had no interest in altering my mind with drugs. I like who I am, even when it is difficult to interoperate with the rest of society.

Err. Psychologists don't use drugs. Perhaps you should reconsider this one.

This site doesn't seem to be suggesting absolute centering [1] when it would be the easiest way to center things.

"margin: auto" seems to be the way that the designers of CSS 2.1 intended to center things. 90% of the time, absolute centering is the easiest way to center in CSS; you should prefer it when possible.

Doesn't Flexbox pretty much solve this problem? I mean, if you need to maintain backwards compatibility this might be reasonable, but "justify-content: center" and "align-items: center" seem to work unreasonably well for this exact purpose.
Typical french elitism.

> I think you're overly focused on immediate emergency announcements, where you should not depend on normal consumer AM and FM radio

Except this is precisely the claim I was responding to: The idea that consumer AM/FM radio should be preserved for precisely that kind of prompt emergency announcement functionality, and to maintain communications after other communications methods have been knocked out in a severe emergency.

The Minot Train Derailment was a disaster for multiple reasons, as disasters often are, but my point stands: The FM station was unmanned, because it was part of a national network and broadcasting a satellite feed, and the local authorities falsely assumed there was someone there who could break into the programming to deliver an emergency message. The fact the sirens also didn't go off is somewhat beside the point I'm making.
Thanks so much for sharing this. I've been waiting a while to see something complete written in Angular 2.0 to see what it looks like.

Really enjoyed looking through the source on this.
You're thinking WWII.
Man thanks for saying this. Nothing grinds my gears like people who talk about homeless people without actually talking to them.

Of course, there is the shitty thing where people are so disconnected that they attempt to talk 'to' someone but end up talking 'at' them instead... but at least then there is the chance for communication and understanding.
Yes, but they mostly live in the suburbs of cities like Paris, while the inner city remains affluent and white. Do Europeans just do a more effective job of keeping poor people and ethnic minorities from moving into the inner cities in the first place?
The author's snipe at the United States (relative to Russia and China) is both jarring, for being woefully out of place in an essay on a WWI engagement, and unwarranted. None of these three major powers has fought another major state for at least 4 decades. The Russians have been fighting disorganized "natives" in places like Georgia, Chechnya, and Ukraine, and rarely openly. Before that, they fought "natives" in Afghanistan… and lost. The PLA has mostly been oppressing ethnic minorities within China's expanded imperial borders (Uighurs, Tibetans, Tiananmen) since it fought "natives" in its own Vietnam War in 1979. Its last combat with a major state was 1962 (India). Meanwhile the Unites States has also been fighting small states (Iraq, Afghanistan), proxy wars, and minor actions since its last major war against "natives" in Vietnam… which they lost.

Not one of these powers has fought an open war against another major state or combination of states in over 5 decades, and the Indians, militarily, probably shouldn't have counted in 1962, either. Realistically there is no one currently serving in any of these services who participated in an open war against a significant power.

That this is destabilizing would have been a fair point. That the world's major powers are probably all feeling somewhat insecure about their own military capabilities (or ought to be) is worrying and worth some analysis. The kind of error made by Churchill and the French at Gallipoli will be made again. But I do not pretend to know who will make it next. There are a lot of inexperienced commanders running around out there, and a lot of major powers that have not been tested within living memory. Singling out the United States while exalting the Russians and Chinese seems overtly political and is out of place in a historical essay without substantial modern analysis to justify the analogy.
Depends on what you need for browser support – flexbox is supported in fewer browser versions and requires using multiple rules because the spec changed significantly before finalizing:

It's just a bad joke. People also have an obligation to control their own hearts instead of waiting for someone else to tell them how they should feel.

It's not my job to make anyone feel safe. That is merely the bias of my personal style. Pure coincidence. The fact is, talking about religion with derision could incite violence, pain, and fear. Am I someone who gets off on pain? No. But I'm not going to go out of my way to protect someone's heart either. It's their job to rule their own heart. It's not their psychiatrist's job or their pastor's job. On a side note, I would add that many religions go out to deliberately propagate fear ("Jesus is the sacrifice to save us from hell"). Nobody cares. I have a friend who is really pained by the thought that he can't convert his close friends, and worse of all, his parents! What agony he must go through now that somebody decided to exercise their free speech and tell him about the eternal torture of hell. It was his job to rule his own heart.

Similarly, it is not the job of students to avoid discussion of rape on campus because the mere mention of rape could cause a reliving of trauma. It is instead out of personal will for a healthier future that we deliberately choose superior speech over unrefined speech.

It is okay for society to shame those they think are tactless. It's not okay to bring logistical or material pain to someone's life because they made one feel terror, or angst, or outrage. Discussion of hell could bring more pain into someone's life than most other subjects one can summon up without a priori knowledge.
Not Churchill's only disaster: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siege_of_Sidney_Street

There's a reason people in the UK paid no attention whatsoever to Churchill during the 1920s and '30s. It wasn't that they disagreed with his increasingly-urgent warnings about Hitler -- it's that the only man issuing them was a "known idiot".
I think you're confusing external identity (how other countries see us) with national identity (how we see ourselves). Gallipoli was hugely influential in defining how New Zealanders and Australians thought of themselves and their nation. It was our coming of age, the moment when we started to see ourselves as nations rather than colonies.

(Of course, that description is a little bit exaggerated: I'm sure reality was much fuzzier and messier. But that just proves the point that Gallipoli has become our national myth. It defines us now, even if it didn't really define us then.)
> Angular 2 is built for tomorrow.

If tomorrow means we're going to give up serving any HTML on first render and pretend that performance doesn't matter, then yes, it's built for tomorrow.

As an aside: Meteor is in the same slowly sinking boat. React is not as you can easily render server side before pushing that initial page to the client.
Maybe this will play better here if it's in the words of Steve Jobs:

"Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart."

Luke 12:16-20, Seneca, or some time working in insurance might do just as well.
And, if they're Americans, they'll be taking the exam, as opposed to sitting for it, or writing it. (After all, professors or other entities write exams. The whole point is that the students didn't write it, or else they'd know all the answers, now wouldn't they?)
I don't think it is obnoxious to call people out on statements that have 0 significant digits. Such a statement isn't "entertaining conversation", it's boring manipulation (it's boring because it is so flimsy).
Clickjackers: Inside the Strange New World of Modern Spyware
Yeah, it also blunders around taking the status quo as something that has more evolutionary causes than cultural ones. And thereby ignoring eg: the patriarchy as a cultural system, and looking for explanations of its effects in genes.

In this it reminds me of the science of the early 20th century that took race as a mere fact, and tried to explain it.
