Obama absolutely will not. His track record of abusing the "Justice" system to harass and torture whistleblowers says so.

Yes, it is torture. Facing an unwinnable war against the megalith for no reason other than you did the right thing will ruin your life, probably your family's, and adversely affect your health so that it will shorten your life.

Edit: It's my belief that exposing crimes committed by the government, which is charged with both obeying the law and enforcing it, is the right thing to do.

No. A future president, possibly. This administration has shown a commitment to, and a strengthening of, the status quo of increased monitoring. The only changes they've made in that respect has been when they were caught with their pants down.

This is a weird "problem" to me. I follow about 300 people (@edropple) and never feel overwhelmed. I've never used lists or filters or anything. I dip in and out of Twitter as I please. Basketball game's on? Twitter's on. Working? Twitter's off. The best analogy I can think of is that it's portable bar chatter. You go when you want to bullshit with friends, you don't when you've got other things going on.

Maybe the problem is trying to follow the entire Internet and lacking the self-control to pick and choose.
Correct. We will let folks buy trade show tables and exhibitor booths through the front door. I have no problem with a funded company that is selling to our audience to buy a table.

I mean, if you're selling a SaaS product that has an average LTV of $5,000 it's probably good idea to spend 2-5x that on a sponsorship for our events (or someone else's) because, well, you'll make it back!

The issue we are talking about here is people "applying" to be in a competition to "get exposure to angels," and then being "accepted" for a fee. That's just lame.

I'm a lucky bastard in that I have the chip stack to take on the risk of a $1m+ budget event, get the support of the top sponsors in the industry and be able to give everyone free tickets and tables.

Remember, Mike and I fought to kill the DEMO conference ($20k to present!) and then he sold to AOL and they decided to maximize profit. I decided to minimize profit -- in fact, my goal is to net out to ZERO each year and give back MORE AND MORE.

Why?

I believe the angel investor who gives away the most value gets into the best deals.

There are a couple of problems with this suggestion. The first is, have you ever read any fan-fiction? Often, the reason these fantasies are so engaging to authors is the same reason they would rather off-putting to others. They're generally self-insert fantasies or power fantasies or wish-fulfillment fantasies.

The other problem is that writing often interrupts the fantasy. The flow in one's head is often very different than the flow of a book and that translation process often takes effort, especially if one is prone to revising the fantasy as one goes along. Worse, once a fantasy is done, one might be able to go back and retrieve it. Creative writing and fantasizing are really different 'skills.'
Helpful, not essential. If you are willing to use smaller engines or can be careful with the throttle (and throttle shutoff) on larger engines you can dock plenty of smaller ships.

I wouldn't want to try it with something with a 180 degree turn time of 30+ seconds.

I wonder if any of this is true in real life? Doesn't a spaghetti rocket just explode in real life?
Developer convenience. Some people like Hungarian notation, some like underscores. I consider it quite convenient as well. Probably there is a need for a tool for source code normalization so that everyone can choose his favorite notation in the whole Nim ecosystem.

> You're redefining "freedom of choice" to mean freedom to negotiate with a company. It's clear that the parent meant freedom to choose when/where they work.

Can't it be both? Really, I don't see how the two can be considered separately. The individual negotiation occurs in the context of the broader field of choices and consequences available, and of the relative power of the participants (which may, perhaps most relevantly, be considered as their ability to cope with any harm that results from saying "no" to a given offer).

> The fact that they aren't choosing other things shows that they're making an informed decision that they believe is best for them given their alternatives.

I don't agree that the fact of a choice having been made gives us any insight in to the degree to which it was "informed" but otherwise, sure.

My point is: that someone said "yes" and that it was within their power to say "no", is a pretty poor metric for freedom per se, and a bit more than that is going to be needed to demonstrate that (say) government intervention
would necessarily be inappropriate or harmful.
Baltimore ‘looting’ tweets show importance of quick and easy image checks
http://youtu.be/BJWKccHQFOA?t=189

I'll grant you that culturally and regulatory wise, there are advantages to certain regions in the US. Some of those features are shared in parts of Canada, UK, Australia and other Commonwealth culture countries, where a view of entrepreneurship, risk, and ambition seems to differ with that of say, some continental Europe cultures. But I'd also include China, a politically unfree country in that last, in the sense that, despite "Communism", the country has many regions of wild west of wide eye entrepreneurs and greed.

Like Obama said, you may believe in American Exceptionalism like the British believe in British Exceptionalism, or the French believe in Francophone Exceptionalism, but it's not unique. Canada's not really less free than the US for example. And unprecedented human happiness? Really, with the events of Baltimore (my hometown) going on, you can say this with a straight face?

We live in an amazing amazing time that entrepreneurs can now do what only nation states did in the past. But our current situation is a precarious thing, and rather than be rah-rah about freedom and human happiness, we need to be worried about the environment and a breakdown in our social structure that might be fueled by such amazing abilities.

Automation, software, robotics, et al, are starting to devalue labor, but we have not evolved politically or socially to deal with perhaps, the decline of work itself, as a focus of human self worth or well being.
If Paddy wants to do this right he should just be up front: $1,000 a table is not outrageous in my mind. If you get rid of this "apply to present" then surprise people with a bill, you would not have this bad will from so many founders.

Note: I didn't actually bring all this up, I was just responding to all the folks writing about Keiretsu forum and Collision. While I do have a conference, it doesn't compete with any of these other events -- because winning for me is just giving back as much as I can (and taking NOTHING).

I do these events for my own intellectual curiosity, to help my founders get exposure and to find new founders to invest in.

I wish Paddy the best with his events and I hope the Keiretsu forum folds.
The $99 isn't the barrier, owning a recent mac decent enough to develop on is the real barrier.
>> If you do it checksum based the checksum is embedded at the place where the asset is referenced from which is an encrypted page

So you are still loading an encrypted page from somewhere? This scheme gets more complex by the post! I think by extracting this idea from your head piecemeal we have confused me!

Let's see if I have this straight -

I browse to https://www.example.com and get served a page that is authenticated and integrity-checked, but not encrypted. Probably via TLS in NULL cipher mode. Embedded in that page are simple sha2 (sha1 is bad, collisions may be possible) hashes of all the images etc that I need to load. The CDN provides these and I can verify the hashes against what I'm expecting.

OK, you've removed protocol overhead on the assets (if they are binary assets this is likely a very small percentage). And you've removed encryption from everywhere. This allows people to get a verified page that's not secret. There's no reason I can think of this would not work. You're still having to give your private key to any third party cache/front-end that serves your HTML.

At this point we're down to an idealogical argument - I think crypto-everywhere is good because I prefer as little information as possible to leak to any interested parties, regardless of how sensitive it is, and because using crypto on everything helps to hide the important stuff. You would rather some things be observable, and don't think the overheads are justified. This we are not going to resolve :)
What's it like to daydream? I don't think I've ever done it. Until a few years ago I didn't realize it was actually a thing, I just thought the word meant "not paying attention" or something like that.

The curious challenge of categorizing women's clothing
I recently learned that Northern Canada has this problem.

Most of the communities in the Arctic do not have street names. Canada Post has been forcing them in the last few years to start, so, for example, a community called Aklavik officially has one street, Aklv St. Even though there are physically more streets than that, and streets at right angles, they're all called Aklv St.

I work for the telco that services these communities, and it's hilarious to look at the street addresses in our plant and provisioning systems - addresses are literally "brown bld across from red bld", "House near lake" etc.

Not surprisingly, I'm having trouble writing code to parse street addresses :)
Note: We give 175 of 225 tables away for free based on merit (we look for unfunded, or angel funded companies that are doing cool shit).

Police brutality has gone down significantly over 40 years. The rate at which police kill black people has dropped by between 50% and 75% over 40 years, depending on the age group. The rate of police killing all other races, hasn't changed in 40 years (as in, it hasn't gotten any worse).

What you're seeing are actions by the police that would have previously gone unreported, or otherwise not been widely exposed to a large population via eg social media.

Obviously the NSA reference is spot on. As would have been a point about incarceration and SWAT deployments.

It's also worth noting that the war on drugs is finally beginning to end. That is an improvement, and will lead to less police brutality almost by default as pot is fully legalized across the US, and other drugs start to be de-criminalized in favor of treatment.

Corporations are far more regulated and controlled today than they were as recently as the 1960s or 1970s. The EPA didn't even exist until 1970. If you think corporate interests are running rampant today, you really would have hated the first 150 years of US corporate history.

And of course the US has been militarily aggressive since WW2, with Korea and Vietnam being larger military actions than Afghanistan and Iraq. Not much has actually changed there in 70 years.

> She says she's often "desperate" around the end of the month

Depends on the definition of "often." If she's desperate at the end of the month 60, 70, or 80% of the time, you're clearly right.

If she's desperate 40, 30, or 20% of the time, then I'd say she might be the perfect user that Even should try to attract. (As long as the extra $156 a year doesn't push her over 50.0% of the time!)

From their FAQ:

My biggest complaint about the uses I encountered in school is that it wasn't taught as a way to do things, it was taught as the way to do things.

It was never "here's what it means to do X, and here's how to do X in matlab", it was "to do X, do this in matlab".

It seems like one of those tools that fosters such thinking.
This is a probably a bad reason, but the reason why I include the image URL is because I thought it would be the easiest way to portray the information. It was easier just to add it into the json response than it was to write it into the doc sheet that currently images could be available by concatenating the suit with the value and making that the file name of the image which could be found at deckofcardsapi.com/static/image/FILENAME.png... Although Farris has a good point.
I think this kind of thing demonstrates portability at a lower cost and better compile-time optimizations. You would think the other languages, especially C++ and Rust, would do better in the latter.
I agree that disk space has gotten a lot cheaper, but bandwidth speed hasn't increased tremendously. Binary sizes definitely are an issue.

And re:memory, it's pretty tight on most end-user machines. By default, most laptops only come with 4-8GB of RAM. And in the cloud, memory cost is perhaps even more expensive. On ec2, a 'large' instance usually has only between 4-8GB of RAM. The default small instances have only 2GB of RAM, which doesn't give much room left over for applications after you account for the OS and various utilities.

It can definitely add up.
"In some ways, I think the best way to let go is to hold on. To hold onto the memories and the love that transcends the physical body. To hold onto those around you that have shared in loving the one you are letting go. To hold onto the only thing that is in your control- the actions you take in this unpredictable world."

I don't really understand why OP decided to print it and glue it in separate steps. It seems rather expensive rather than finding someone to do all the work.

Go check out all the great apps in the repo: http://repo.openpandora.org/ - just the variety and diversity of the apps is awesome, and you can't beat the price (most everything is free/open source). The small/limited market so far means that the community of developers are very open and free and accessible - there are some real heroes in the OpenPandora/Pyra scene. Knowing the guy (EvilDragon) behind the hardware project is awesome too - he's approachable and real.

The Pandora itself is a decent little Linux workstation with all the pickings from the Linux eco-system that you could imagine, with some extra stuff too - the recent port of Half Life (http://pandoralive.info/?p=5029) is an example of the sort of fun stuff that's showing up for the machine.

Generally, its just a great all-round workstation, with a gaming focus that works, somehow.

Clustered index is something it would be nice for Postgres to have, but it would be a lot of work to implement and it's certainly not always a performance win. Looking up by that index is very fast, but looking up by a secondary index may have to traverse a second btree (it cannot point directly at data on disk because its location is tied to the clustered index). And of course there's quite a bit of overhead for transactions and modification operations.

In practice, you can recover many of the advantages of clustered indexes in PostgreSQL (along with the disadvantages) with a covering index eligible for https://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Index-only_scans.

I am merely describing how I think the economy is running. Not how it should be running. In fact I agree with you that it is not healthy at all.

Japan used to run the other way around, where the salary was solely a function of age (or rather, how long a worker had been working in a company, but that was essentially the same). I don't think it makes for a healthy economy either. But I'm also not entirely convinced it's that much worse than the "free market" you have in the US.

I don't have any form of competence in terms of economy, but sometimes it feels like the economy we are living in right now is optimizing for the wrong things. It is becoming more and more efficient, more and more optimized, but not at all for the common good. Maybe for quarterly results?
No I'm not confused - I was giving an example of stuff I've heard from clients. MSDN makes it really clear it's for dev not day-to-day ops. But people don't get that.

I'd be surprised if you get "nailed" if a reseller went over a scenario and licensed you. Worst case is if they can prove maliciousness and fine you. If the reseller calculated things and came to a reasonable (but lower) number I'd be surprised if that's gonna really hurt.

Agreed though that MS's licensing is terribly annoying. But it's a lower Total Cost of Ownership, right?!
I think Twitter's problem is that it somehow makes people turn into vile hate filled people. There is so much harassment on Twitter I just can't believe it. Sure it exists on 4chan, reddit, and others, but I think Twitter seems to channel it the most.

You don't seem to disagree! Yes, they don't support multitasking. They're also very restrictive with limited application interaction modes. The primary interface is a full screen of evenly spaced product icons. All of these things are why they're good for non-technical users.

These restrictions also make them very malware proof. They're products which just work and don't much, if any, support or maintenance.

Microsoft and Apple could have never brought out a desktop or laptop with these kind of limitations before tablets became popular.
I’m not surprised that a drug used to treat OCD helped her, because this really sounds like a variant form of OCD. The difference is that she was obsessing about the virtual world she had created inside her own head instead of something out in the physical world.

Why learn a single programming language? Why not several? and by doing so get an understanding about what programming and computation is all about. From 100,000 feet, most programming languages are similar. When you know several you begin to see the unifying structures they support, and that may give you some insight into how computation is related to problems.
