Thanks for the comments!

- Question ranking - good point, will consider.

- Stats - there are plans for additional visualization (like a heatmap), and that will come in a few days. Yes, you are right, stats are only meaningful when you have a lot of answers, and when you have a lot of answers, you can certainly do lots of creative things (like compare by gender, by interest, etc), but it will take time to get there.

- Embeddable - yes this is important (but will take time). Shareable - can you be a bit more specific about this one? Right now, you can share on twitter, facebook and reddit easily, what else should we be adding?

- About browsing random questions. If things were organized (e.g. tags, sub-categories, etc) where questions of similar topics were grouped together, would that be something that makes you want to browse more?
I should have clarified that I'm going to a lawyer once I gather all of my data. There's no way I can use the above template because it's customized for the State of Washington and I'm in Florida. Starting with a free template helps me create a plan and collect the bulk of the material even before I meet someone. Hopefully if I do my homework, then I'm not wasting the attorney's time on basic questions and can use that for clarification on some of the more complex issues.
They are pulling data from IATA, which offers an information site:

It isn't really very convenient for the use you propose (it returns info based on one passport-destination pair at a time).

>A change address is designed to enhance anonymity on the blockchain

Don't think that's actually true. A change address may help for anonymity, but the design of bitcoin (specifically, "outputs"), means that change addresses must be used. I doubt the idea was specifically to help anonymity.
Thanks - I'll check them out.
I read some reviews stating your issue, but i took a chance and i couldn't have been more satisfied. Please do check if you could replace your model since yours is a signature edition model.

I would also like to add, that i was impressed with system76 laptops. I seriously considered buying them, but i changed course since i was unsure of the after sales service since mine would come under international sales.

Btw, i get about 10 hours of battery usage :)
There's also a Chrome extension for Focusr: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/focusr/fgdcnfgmneb...

This is especially useful because it prevents downward spirals from happening before they begin. For example, if you want to work on X, you can write "Do X" in this extension. Then, when you open a new tab to do something non-productive (like browsing reddit, etc), you'll see a huge reminder of "Do X" to prevent goofing off before it even happens.
Apple Rebuilds Siri Back End Services Using Apache Mesos
1 - great use of "torvaldian"

2 - you can still be picky if you're just starting out and are able to (i.e. rent/food/etc is covered). this helps you define a niche that you want to operate in. niches are important because it's easier to become known or stand out in small group of similar people or companies (instead of trying to stand out for EVERYONE).

to find gigs + build an audience, here are few other articles i've written:
https://pjrvs.com/a/scratch
https://pjrvs.com/a/audience

i've gone through about 3 niches in the 17 years i've freelanced (pro sports, valley startups, person-as-a-brand online entrepreneurs). each time it's taken about a year to reach critical mass (i.e. many more work offers than i have time for). each time i've been very focused on what i talked abut in original article here.

hope that helps!
But would you want to stay in Terre Haute?
I recently started asking in response to first contact from a recruiter. "I can't afford the time to look at positions without compensation expectations stated" seems to work pretty well. So far that's gotten hard numbers out of everyone but google, who basically says "as much as it takes".
From a UK law enforcement perspective - completely illegal if it were over here. Not only can you only keep property being used as evidence - which your mobile phone could be - but a risk assessment is conducted at the end of detention to make sure the detainee can get home safe, which would definitely include making sure they have cash/medication/etc, and making sure they're not suicidal.

But yeah, coming from the UK, this whole thing strikes me as a little mad. But I suspect the author is omitting some details for dramatic effect. It would very much surprise me if it wasn't made very clear what she was being arrested for, and the officer explained her rights etc. I'm also sceptical about the "u turns to show off" - in the UK, all police vehicles have incident recorders, so showing off for shits and giggles is dangerous and likely to get you fired. It#s I'd be surprised if there weren't similar devices. It's also made exceedingly clear you don't post pictures on duty in social media unless it's approved etc.

Nonetheless, sounds all very horrible, and it shouldn't be. I like to think we do it a lot better.
One of my ops folks characterized Wordpress as a rootkit with a blogging package ride along. So hard not to see the ultimate truth in that
+1 to thinkpad T series. E series is also worth considering, though the screen seems washed out and has poor viewing angles.
Well you have to also consider the Seattle location. State Taxes are %10 less than California and the cost of living is lower, so the compensation is lower than the SF Bay Area as a result.
I still use my Ninja phone as a travel phone. The Verge did a good video about it, you can see pretty much all of the gear there in the van. The crew that did all of that is very, very good.

use a notebook, not an app. Stay away from computing devices for a significant amount of time before you attempt to sleep.

Keep a sleep log - when you wake up, write down the time you fell asleep (as best you can estimate) and when you woke up.

If your problem persists, consult a sleep doctor. There are roughly fifty different sleep disorders, some of which can be quite serious.

I once had obstructive sleep apnea but I had surgery for it. Apnea surgery does not always work but it did in my case.

OSA can shorten your life.

I agree that this is a problem and I've been researching this for some time now.

Ideally you would want a HIDS system for small deployments (i.e. a single server) but there doesn't seem to exist too many of those and there's little information about them online (as far as I can find). OSSEC is one example but I'm not convinced it installs too cleanly. At least FreeBSD has a package for it however. Actual configuration would be a mystery.

I think information about this sort of stuff (intrusion detection) seems to be hard to come by in general. At least stuff that is written by knowledgeable people. I haven't seen much about it from major vendors either - it seems to be a black box kind of technology.

I'd love to have a "lightweight" simple daemon that does this. I guess ideally you would monitor logs for stuff, user and group modifications, cron additions etc.
Ask if they have a coding standard. If it's very picky about how comments are to be formatted, steer clear.
Cursory look on Craigslist showed a bunch of apartments for less than $900 in Queen Anne area, with ~$600 around Freemont. Not sure I see the need for "pods".
The ol' tack in the shoe trick was specifically noted as bunk by the examiner I knew, and the sphincter clench is semi-widely known.

What I would find difficult with each of these tricks, is that you have to execute them during control questions, and not during "real" questions.

Keeping track of when to clench or not while simultaneously trying to keep reality, and one's deceptions straight seems like it would be extremely hard to do under even mild pressure.
About 35 kilometres from another city.
There is a difference between what you are describing (commercial zoning) and what AirBnB does (length of tenancy). Commercial zoning is much more obviously a legitimate government function than length of tenancy, which is a textbook economic rigidity.

But to answer your question seriously, I think the Japanese have a better zoning system than in the US, theirs allows for, in limited quantities, a bar in a residential neighborhood, or even an apartment next to a machining shop. The insight here is that it does no one any good to have a long commute, and so they have a system that affords landowners choices about the kind of neighbors they want to have, rather than dumping them all into residential-only zones.
Message passing in KO (Kay Objects) is always inherently concurrent. After all the object abstraction is "individual computers all the way down"[1], and with separate computers, I hope we agree to call the message asynchronous.

Anyway, mapping the passing of messages to synchronous lookup of a method in Smalltalk was always an optimization purely out of expediency. Highly important at the time so they could get real systems running on their "Interim Dynabooks" (aka Altos, 128K DRAM, 5.8 MHz[2]), and try them out.

However, the ability to do a full message-send was always retained in systems like Smalltalk and descendants such as Objective-C and Ruby, with the DNU hook turning the message that only exists in pieces on the call stack into a bona-fide object (Message in Smalltalk, NSInvocation in Objective-C).

And lo and behold, these hooks were and are used to implement asynchronous, remote and other forms of messaging.

So to answer your question: yes, what Ruby, Smalltalk and Objective-C do is message passing. It is probably on the extreme end of what can still be considered KO-style message passing, which to me means it is late-bound and an object representing the message for further processing can be recovered easily.

- Report without having to answer - we are doing this right now, and should have it ready in the next week or so.

- More visualizations is coming as well.

- You are right, right now, this probably isn't any different from other polls sites you may have encountered. But the bigger picture, hopefully, is to create something that combines data collection and data visualization together. With Reddit, for example, you could collect data easily (because of its traffic), but you won't be able to see detailed visualizations (unless if you create your own), and with visualization tools/websites, one often struggles to find good datasets. This is, at least ideally, the longer term plan.

- Comments - understand. We have few comments atm. Do you think this is because of the nature of the site, or because there is no traffic, and hence nobody commenting?
No, change addresses are optional. The protocol allows transactions with one input and one output:

Follow your market, pivot when necessary, etc. Be lean. There is an argument for having support, even minimally, for different languages while you find your market. Still, there is the catch-22 of expending resources to support potential markets that may not exist. Take for example the Lean Startup's example of building many integrations for chat applications. In the end, they were using flawed assumptions and didn't need ANY integrations. The opportunity cost of the time they spent was gone.

For myself, I had a side project unexpectedly take off in a big way in Germany although I launched it from the US. It was even latency sensitive (a web-based video conferencing solution). The site wasn't translated before that point, but it was certainly an indication that perhaps it was the time to do so...
I would not worry too much about it. P45 does not show your base salary, it only shows how much you've actually earned, it's not necessarily the same thing.
Start sending out your resumes and taking interviews.

You're working for a control freak. It will not end well.
Based on other comments in the thread and other things I've read, it seems like the polygraph machine serves only to intimidate the interviewee into wearing their emotions on their sleeve, and the real purpose of the polygrapher is to try to read body language.

It also sounds like polygraphers may think they are reading someone, but in actuality just injecting their own bias. I have also never taken a polygraph, but maybe the process to beat is the bias of the interviewer, not the machine.
You can prevent this kind of thing, or at least make it easier to keep track of.

Add these rules to your iptables firewall:

-A OUTPUT -m owner --uid-owner Debian-exim -p tcp --dport 25 -j ACCEPT
-A OUTPUT -p tcp -d 127.0.0.1 --dport 25 -j ACCEPT
-A OUTPUT -p tcp --dport 25 -m state --state RELATED,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT
-A OUTPUT -p tcp --dport 25 -j LOG --log-level debug --log-uid --log-prefix "smtp_block "
-A OUTPUT -p tcp --dport 25 -j REJECT

This blocks anyone except exim from sending email. (Note these rules are not tested with IPv6.)

Then, keep a log of every outgoing email, by adding in /etc/exim/exim4.conf.template:

After:

begin routers

Add:

traffic_tap:
unseen
no_expn
no_verify
transport = local_copy
driver = accept

After:

begin transports

Add:

local_copy:
driver = appendfile
delivery_date_add
envelope_to_add
return_path_add
maildir_format = true
create_directory = true
directory = /var/log/mail_archive/$tod_logfile/

Create /var/log/mail_archive with write access for Debian-exim

Obviously these rules are for exim on Debian, but you can use the ideas for other systems.

Voting. If that doesn't work, revolution.
This is great. I hope it takes off. You may need some mechanism (in addition to voting) to ensure submission quality.
Git Large File Storage (LFS) or Rsync for Media Files
Now that Git Large File Storage (LFS) has been announced. What is the general opinion on large file storage syncing best practices? Do you use Git LFS or sync with rsync?

That is true, but it also means you really should work towards getting into that position partly by reducing your personal burn rate (ie spending) and partially by charging more since that allows you a longer famine.

You fail to understand the insult because you don't value liberty and individualism. When you say "it's their country" it is misleading. It's as much theirs as it is the other's person who lives next to them and thinks visas and passports are bullshit. My country doesn't belong to me any more than the other person. Why should I and not the other person decide who can visit?

Right! So isn't it weird to see us proposing things like new tricks to beat the machine? What machine? Can't I just imagine it's a Magic 8 Ball instead? Would we propose tricks to beat a Magic 8 Ball? No!
Texas Governor Deploys State Guard to Stave Off Obama Takeover
Yes, but that's if you want it all to go to one place. I don't see any specific design choice involving change addresses that seems specifically for anonymity.
Newbie here. Are there any real web applications developed with Clojure?
CTO of BitGo here. I wouldn't call this a bug, per se, but it's a known issue that we plan to fix. The BitGo API is agnostic where the change output(s) are placed -- this is just an issue with the client-side SDK.

The primary reason we haven't changed it sooner is that BitGoD (which Bitstamp uses), currently relies on the change output being last to determine which output of a transaction is change when listing transactions. This was needed due to missing functionality in our back-end transaction indexer which has been remedied in the last few weeks.

The other reason we don't consider it a huge deal is that, until there is much more adoption of multi-sig, it's still going to be relatively easy to determine which output is change (it's likely the only one that starts with a "3").
One day I got into work much earlier than usual. I didn't think anyone else was there until I started typing. A programmer who had fallen asleep in his chair awoke with a startle, then started typing himself.

Funnily, he always left early in the day and was lauded by his teammates for doing the hard work in the morning when no one was around so he could concentrate.
This is so relevant. In Sweden, there is currently (for the last 15 years or so) a big push to build new and bigger motorways. At the same time, Bil Sweden, the Swedish interest organization for motor traffic, publishes statistics on the share of the population having a driver's license.[1]

Ever since I found this document I've been convinced of the decline of driving. The statistics are per age group, and the only age groups where the population share with a driver's license are still increasing are 67 years and up. All the rest seem to have peaked during the last 15 years. 18 year olds are the exception, where there is a small increase during the last few years. Still, it's at around 30% up from 25% ca 10 years ago, while it was 50% in 1989.

Cars are so old school. And the explosion engine is just... Well it feels like steam punk to me. I just don't get the fascination. This is from a guy who's currently working to get a license, since I moved back out to my family's farm from the city. I still view it as good to have, not something that excites me at all.

I agree, but that part of Airbnb's usage pattern is bound to change, and the service will easily survive that change. Grooveshark, on the other hand, can't survive a correction from proscribed uses.
They always give me direct, flat prices beforehand, once I tell them that I don't have insurance, and after they pull out their "other" price chart.
Patio11, back when he still did consulting, charged 30k/wk, primarily by getting close to the value the business provided (e.g optimizing a signup flow on your customers Most Important Website is a lot easier to show will result in $MEANINGFUL_AMOUNT_OF_ADDITONAL_INCOME than building an entire rails app to improve developer productivity, ignoring that the first is easier).
So what you're suggesting is that it should be OK for me to buy a bungalow in the middle of Oak Park and literally open up a hotel in it? That's a coherent argument, but not one I think a lot of people share.

The presence of the machine changes the nature of the interview. It's like how being interviewed on the phone at home and being interviewed handcuffed to a table with a gun your head are different. It really doesn't matter much if the interviewer actually intends to shoot you or not. The mere presence of the prop induces stress making it difficult to think clearly and avoid being manipulated by the interviewer.

To succeed in the situation your mind must be prepared to deal with the gun or the handcuffs or the polygraph. I doubt many people are able to simply ignore them.

The polygraph acts like the pot use question for many US law enforcement positions. People rightly recognize that it's absurd, but for the wrong reasons. It's not there to select for straight edge people who have never smoked up, but to select for people willing to bend the truth for the sake of making procedures have the expected outcomes. Law enforcement doesn't want the guy who feels compelled to cost himself a job by being honest about a roach when he was 14, not because he did something illegal, but because when asked on the stand whether he's confident evidence bag #14 never left his sight he's likely to let the truth get in the way of the legal machine.

The polygraph foremost is a way to arbitrarily filter people for reasons that interviewer would rather not reveal, and secondly to select for people willing to put up with the theatrics of procedures while being indifferent to their supposed purpose.
You can think of it as a theoretical machine introduced by Alan Turing which can compute anything that can be computed. If something cannot be computed by Turing machine, then it means that it cannot be computed at all. An important aspect is that it is defined as a simple machine with infinte length tape and a moving head, which can move in any direction. Tape is made up of cells where inputs/outputs are stored. There is also another related proof that says problems are uncountable and programs are countable which means there exist some problems which cannot be solved at all. I would recommend the book Introduction to Automata Theory, Languages, and Computation by Ullman et al. It explains from very simple machine called finite automata to Turing machine. For a beginners introduction Wikipedia entry is still good
That observation is probably related to http://www.bash.org/?949214 :)
I don't think the phone analogy is a good one to the case here. You can write software that serves people in other languages without ever speaking those languages in a way you could never communicate over the phone. Mobile apps are a good example -- it does largely depend on the product and the target audience though but most things should aim to be international. It's not massive effort either in most cases just include a LocalizedStrings.h or whatnot. Not every language has to be supported but simply have the abstraction of two languages usually means more can be added later quite easily.

You're saying that cryptocurrencies aren't issued by nations and thus are different.

But most nations use electronic currency with digital ledgers and new currency is generated whenever a certain cryptographic function is made - namely, a messaged signed with the key of the central bank.
