Yes in both cases, at least in the US. Any attorney can handle escrow. The American Arbitration Association offers mediation services.

I've never used escrow in part because it is uncommon and in part because it would be a lot of ceremony compared with a retainer and anyway dealing with escrow is already lawyering up and I don't have much interest in taking clients where that's the honeymoon.

On the other hand I have pursued mediation three times when someone wouldn't pay. The two times it was contractually required it was a waste of energy, in one case the deadbeat declared bankruptcy and in the other the deadbeat correctly guessed it wasn't worth dragging them to court and didn't mediate in good faith. The time mediation was successful it was part of the pretrial after I had filed in small claims court.
Google Sued by Job Candidate for Age Discrimination
is your standard for a bad name really "hard to google"?

Apple? C? when something gains critical mass it's really irrelevant anyway, since they become easy to google (atom shell is already a front page result for "electron").

or is the argument that they are bad names because they are not "relevant"? again.. Apple... C... if anything i'd say "electron" is super cliche and exactly the type of name i'd expect a library to have.

The trouble here is that you're arguing from the enviable position of having a solution without a clear problem, and are trying to find a problem to justify it.

The concept got flipped in the chain here -- what is actually happening on these campuses is the establishment of "free speech zones", where a person can say what they like, and the establishment of rules that, on the rest of the campus, punishment will occur for saying things that could trigger or make someone feel unsafe.

So, what's happening is that an entire campus is made to be this "safe" area.

Is the assertion that there are so many people on any given university campus who might have a breakdown that the entire campus must walk on egg shells? Because that is the side of the debate you're arguing from.
I believe this happened because companies like http://www.cloudways.com/en/ are integrating Amazon cloud infrastructure smartly to build a service for application developers.

Usually, application developers are not good at server side configurations. They want something that's easy to setup and help them deploy their applications like WordPress, Magento, Drupal, Joomla etc.

Companies like Cloudways are taking away a lot of pain and giving those application developers a chance to easily setup their apps with premium support.

Don't you think that's attractive? and a business opportunity as well.
You'd probably need to address the legal system to fix this - police don't want to be sued if they let kids walk home and something happens; same for schools and park designers.

You can't fine-tune memory usage and can run into cache issues (or worse) if you deal with quite a lot of data, though.
Word should get around. Centralized services suck. I long for the days when people cared that the internet was decentralized, and some of the best apps were too. Email, the Web, even IRC. We can do it today, but instead the startups want to capture as much of the market as possible and rule their little world while maintaining huge datacenters.
Correct, rotor was a reference implementation shared by Microsoft when they released the CLR specification into the community. It was extremely, extremely basic and the GC was horrible. :-)
It also produces less garbage since, more often than not, small values are copied, not created on the heap then referenced.

> It’s natural to assume that service providers like Ancestry will be good custodians of our data,

No, never. Not Ancestry or anybody else. In this very moment my computer is running my daily back up my Google Drive (customers write stuff there) to my USB disk (I know, I should need a better disaster recovery solution). Not that Google doesn't provide a good service, but I don't trust them to preserve all my data until I need it, possibly tens of years in the future. I better care about it myself.

I consider anything stored "on the cloud" as expendable. If I really care about it I back it up in multiple copies. I have a couple of servers where I send encrypted backups using duplicity.

Is this too much for the average computer/tablet user? Yes, but there won't be a market for proper consumer backup until enough people has been burned by this kind of things and all cloud services will start offering an export procedure.

Meanwhile I think it's worth using self hosted services. For my company I have a self hosted redmine with all the details of my projects.
From the position you've taken here, I'm getting the impression that you haven't taken the time to learn what the job/business of teaching actually requires, and have instead substituted that knowledge with an idealized model of your own design.

Yes, it would be lovely if all primary and secondary school teachers simply walked into the classroom 5 minutes before class like it happens on TV and spate forth a soliloquy of insight and exploration. That fantasy is simply that.

As a side note, on this line of thought, it'd be similarly shameful for a developer or engineer to use 3rd-party libraries, refer to APIs, crib from pattern cookbooks, etc.

I mean, you do rebuild from scratch the functions you need from jQuery, right? It'd be ridiculous to use reuse the work someone else published, after all.

If I remember correctly, it was a way for the investors to cash out on their Google value indirectly. The same VCs (Sequoia I think) that funded Google had funded Youtube.

It's been a long time so I may be remembering incorrectly. OK, I just looked up the deal and it was done in stock and not cash. Sequoia invested $9M and received $516M as part of the deal.

I did see an article saying Sequoia planned to sell their Youtube acquired Google shares in 2007 (before the lock-out period for employees expires) but I'm not sure if the sale went through.

It looks like from the Article that Metchnikoff had ADHD. According to the article He had a "preternatural ability to connect dots where nobody saw dots at all", and “he was in constant motion, always wanting to see, taste, and try everything, from studying how his father played card games to learning to sew and embroider with the maids."

How hard is to look back at great discoveries and try to identify if the discoverer or inventor had ADHD? It would be an interesting piece of research to try to work out what copping mechanisms these great ADHD'er used to ship the the product or spread the discovery. One of the issues with ADHD is the lack of ability to finish things.

Hold on, Rackspace is not police. You have no legal right to demand that they cease to host anything and they have no legal obligation to look into anything sent to that email address. The company that got hacked and reported it to the police did: someone violated the law, we provided IP addresses and access logs to make it a clear and simple case, and then they didn't even look into it.

A minor wording recommendation:

That's an issue, I guess for many apps. However, Google tend to make company-wide technical decisions, and then the entire engineering crowd go there. How many other companies have one SCM instance? None. If there were unrefutable economic gains to be made by moving to Omega today, my guess they would do it.

The technically interesting question is whether decentralized scheduling in the large scale is a solved problem or not. Can we do it better than centralized today?

Sweden is a pretty interesting case. Only 1-2% of trash ends up in landfills. Much is recycled [reused], and the rest is burned for energy (heating and electricity).

An interesting tidbit is that recycling [reuse] rates has increased such that there isn't enough trash to burn (and burning is still much better than landfills). So Sweden now import trash from neighbouring countries.

For that to be an argument two things would be required:

1) Changing patchlevels causing huge performance differences.
2) Those "patchlevels" being immediately deployable to production in the real world.

Neither is true, so you don't have an argument.

Standard bittorrent was in Python. Azureus was in Java and it felt significantly slower (than Python!) - it took so long to start it needed a splash screen, and you'd click a menu and wait for it to appear.

Kind of an unfair comparison - the Python one just calls native Qt or Tk whereas the Java UI is actually written in Java - but it does colour the perception.

"What does an average «real engineer» C++ programmer have at their disposal?"

Ways to do the job. C++ is not perfect, I contest some of its design decisions (like having private class members by default, and having to explicitly (i.e. verbose) declare "public" at least some of them to make that given class usable), but I don't have to fight the language so much to get things done. For me the best job C++ does so far is by staying a tool. I don't want _BY_DEFAULT_ "something more", "something clever", or "something whatever" that adds more accidental complexity [1] which comes around when least expected and gets in my way! This being said, I admit that C++ suffers from feature creep like many other things do, but (as a consolation) it got here like this only after serious critique for each of the added feature and each feature had to pass serious filtering in order to "creep in".

"managers keep choosing C++"

Actually, I am the one choosing C++ for what I do, be it corporate related (and managed by managers) work or personal projects. I choose it for both low level and almost scripting-like tasks, although I used (and consider myself proficient in) other toy programming languages too.

What perspective is that?

They ship new optimisations in more or less every release. I'm not sure what workload you do that you've never seen performance improvements.

For example in Java 9 they're going to ship auto-vectorisation for certain kinds of functional / parallel stream construct.
Any Java program takes a while to start up, and interactive Java desktop apps tend to be slow because of the UI toolkits they use. But in terms of throughput for a backend service, Java performance is fantastic.

The benefit and trouble with rotary engines is their reliability -- fewer moving parts means they'll generally fail less during their life cycle, and running them under higher loads / higher output, within their specifications, will generally not reduce the life expectancy (as in, run a 100HP rotary continually at 30 or 100, nearly the same running life).

But they will have a shorter overall lifespan. That large moving inner chamber and the outer chamber walls around it will wear down, and when they fail you replace a significant amount of that combustion chamber (or just junk the entire motor).

It's a neat application of the technology, and particularly in contexts where either the motor is going to run for long periods at a specific speed or not be used all the time, it could make a great option for power generation.

> You can't fine-tune memory usage

What do you mean by that? There are some very fine-grained tuning options if you really need them.
I was thinking the same thing. It depends of your needs, if you need raw performance and you have at your disposition a lot of RAM on a powerful server , Java might be a good bet. If you are building things for a normal computer, a Raspberry PI or a background service, the memory usage of Java is going to hit you badly.

I understand your point, but I disagree.

It may take some time, but many of these 'awkward' jobs too will disappear. Once the house is the machine, the problem of maintaining it becomes a lot simpler. In fact, these environments may look nothing like a house (I would expect the first iteration to focus on low-cost functionality over form). Such machines could eliminate the need for independent robots or human labour.
Yes, we got bitten by this when using an algorithm with a k-means clustering step in the middle; minor perturbation in the least significant bits could change which cluster an item got assigned to, which would then result in massive changes to the eventual output.

(Relatedly, several ASIC and FPGA tools suffer from nonlinearity so badly that they will let you specify the random seed at the start and/or do multiple runs with different seeds to pick the best result)
Electric scooters are becoming very popular here in Amsterdam, and I really hope this gets more of the gas-powered scooters off the market.

Scooters here are mostly either used by delivery boys or as a luxury item (since the bike lanes are so good). There is a decent amount of hostility towards scooters from bikers since (right now) they often share the same lanes; scooter riders are impatient, honk-y, often drive too fast and cause accidents, and blast those they are passing with smog. There's a movement to get them off the bike lanes and into traffic.

Scooters emit less CO2 per distance traveled than cars (and obviously much less than bike riders!) but often much more smog causing pollutants that affect air quality. Given that there is a really big push to improve air quality in European city centers, electric scooters can make a big difference. Plus gas-powered scooters are noisy as all hell, especially during peak food delivery hours (since all delivery boys love zooming around on their toys making as much noise as possible). I'm starting to see a lot of delivery companies switching to electric scooters, and I'm hoping that this trend either continues or that the government simply mandates these for commercial operations within the city.
OT a bit, but I am surprised that the author's family managed to keep a family-based social network going for so long.

When my family tried to create one on Geni, it brought a few crazy relatives out of the woodwork, and Geni's "growth hacking" strategy of spamming anyone who was invited to join the tree led to angry real-life confrontations between inviters and invitees. Our family tree is maintained a little, but the social aspects died a quick death.

> it looks like even if Microsoft changes it's mind, it can't take it back

I had some correspondence with RMS back in November right after CoreCLR was announced, and he doesn't seem to agree. All he said was that MS's non-standard/custom patent grant isn't sufficient and that http://endsoftpatents.org/2014/11/ms-net/ is correct.

While I think http://www.fsf.org/news/dont-depend-on-mono was cogent and made a convincing argument at the time, and there may even be problem with the new patent grant, the endsoftpatents.org analysis just seems like a poor one.

I also pointed out that the .NET Micro Framework wasn't under a custom patent promise, but instead has been available under Apache 2.0 for years. It seems that even if let's say the worse case scenario is true, and there is a loophole in the patent promise, and it was put in to facilitate nefarious plans on MS's behalf, then the free software community could render even such deliberate plans as ineffective. The key move would be to continuously and aggressively hedge on alternatives and to make it well known that's what's going on. The community could aim for aggressive portability to other languages/runtimes with the use of a tool to do mechanical translation. If MS (or one of its affiliates) tries anything shifty, the community flips a switch and for compatibility relies on an NETMF-based runtime (still being available under Apache 2.0 and all) and otherwise begins living entirely in Vala land, with MS having proven they don't want to play ball.
