Nitpick: the Einstein quote is predated by Nicolas Boileau in l'Art Poétique (1674)

Avant donc que d'écrire, apprenez à penser.
Selon que notre idée est plus ou moins obscure,
L'expression la suit, ou moins nette, ou plus pure.
Ce que l'on conçoit bien s'énonce clairement,
Et les mots pour le dire arrivent aisément.

Translated on the spot (as a futile attempt from a non-native speaker to preserve the poetry of it):

Before even to write, one should learn to think.
As the idea is more or less obscure
Expression follows, 'ther less clear, or more pure.
What's best understood is uttered clearly,
And those words to tell come that easily.

I'm always surprised how much such a work originally applying to art and poetry is also relevant to code. Another example:

Hâtez-vous lentement, et sans perdre courage,
Vingt fois sur le métier remettez votre ouvrage,
Polissez-le sans cesse, et le repolissez,
Ajoutez quelquefois, et souvent effacez.

T9n:

Haste yourself slowly, keep up with bravery,
Your work on the bench put again a twenty,
Endlessly you polish, and again polish it,
Occasionally add, much often delete.
He's saying that the literal text of the first amendment doesn't allow for the interpretative process of figuring out whether dangerous speech is protected. I'm saying that 1) the way it's written clearly allows for interpretation; and 2) if it didn't that would cut out a lot of protections where the court has interpreted "speech" to be broader than its literal meaning.

Speech as encompassing a range of non-speech activities is indeed the result of legal interpretation. If you're a researcher in computer speech recognition, your job has nothing to do with print, right? The concept of "the freedom of speech" encompassing a wide range of expressive conduct is the result of a legal process, one that started before the Constitution was written. When the framers wrote the text against that background, they meant to incorporate the existing understanding of the limits of that freedom. And that concept has always allowed for limitations on harmful expression.
You're describing something like Slashdot's moderation system, and we all know how well that worked out.

No, that statement evaluates to a pure value of type int. In the process, it does something else as well that effects the visible behavior of the program.

The C equivalent of

putStrLn "hello"

is probably actually

void putsHello(void) {
puts("hello");
}

Unfortunately, function definitions aren't something you can really manipulate at runtime in C.
Personally I find Facebook much more complicated to use than Twitter. Ever since I started using Twitter I use it all the time and I can go days without checking my Facebook account.

Having said that, I do agree with your statement regarding friends having accounts that don't use them. I have a hard time convincing people to create a Twitter account.
Rust's cartridge for OpenShift
(iv) I come from an EE background so as when it comes to fundamentals I find it a help to think in terms of message passing and transmitters and receivers. It clears up some of the debate for me about which is more fundamental, objects or functions. To me they are all things (transceivers) that transmit and/or receive messages. In the case of a function the transceiver is alive for the duration of the call. In the case of an object or actor it may be alive for longer (and, if stateful, respond in ways that are harder to predict and reproduce)

But this is just a way of thinking that makes me feel comfortable because I like to have a physical model. If someone else is happy with function application as being the fundamental building block then I have no problem with that. However you said that "there are theoretical reasons to believe that message passing is not function application (while function application is a special case of message passing)." I would be interested to get more background on this. Would you have any references for this? Thanks.
What does "badly tuned" mean? I feel like there is a need for a lot more clarity. Anyone have the source study (or know what it is). I'd like to know more.
I agree that the title could be read both ways, but as someone who works with CV, I knew immediately what it meant. CV outside of a few specific applications on controlled images is only just starting to work at all.
So if some serial killer type were to discover an easy way to make a nerve gas from products bought solely from Wal-Mart, you'd rather that they have the right to widely publish the recipe than it be repressed due to the entirely reasonable fear of many deaths due to the discovery?

Repressive governments killed more people during the 20th century than all of the serial killers in history. We have far more to fear from governments than from individual psychopaths.

This does not occur in a legal vacuum; for example Hit Man: A technical manual for independent contractors is an incredibly detailed description on how to commit a murder, hide the body etc, and was found to be used as a manual in a triple murder. It was found to not be protected under the first amendment (although it never reached the supreme court).

First, there was no such finding about the book. Just because the first judge to hear a motion to dismiss on first amendment grounds refuses to grant it doesn't mean that the book was found to not be protected. The case was settled by Paladin Press's insurance company.

Second, the fact that the aforementioned murderer was caught, convicted and died in prison illustrates the fallacious nature of the arguments about the books lethality. I have a copy, it's fantasy.
What I think should be even more concerning for any future social media startups is that most users will be mobile users. And mobile users already have a social graph that they can take anywhere they want: Their address book. Thanks to it any new startup can theoretically create a disruptive community within days.

It's worth noting with bookmarks that the workflow you describe doesn't even need to use bookmarks at all (and I wouldn't call when they were put into core to be "recent"). All a bookmark does is give a development line a tag that can move.
Amazon.ca suspended account without warning, saying multiple account
Its 3 months i have started on amazon. Got my sales high, nobissue with customers, no claims, no negative feedback. Its onebyearvi have been selling on ebay, kjiji, craiglist. But as heard to rise my sales, started amazon selling account. Its 3 months, i got email in morning. They have suspended my account, listings remved as they found i had one account thatvwas closed so this one also closed. My $60k stuck for 90days. Is it how they work. Not even asking seller, i never had any account in past and just shocked with amount of money stuck. They dont want to give any information. I just moved to new address when i started this account and dont know may be this issue. But what would i do now,i cant even work on other channelsm all money stuck. What was my mistake that i got suspended like that. No complaints, proper tracking information to customers, full support. I was even thinking to start FBA but.....i want my money back, dont want amazon selling. Wow.they are great

Anecdotal but related...

My dad (60+) and my sister (30+) both recently signed up for Twitter, and despite following less than 10 people each immediately found value. Their first follows were someone they knew, or wanted to follow for a specific reason.

Not sure how many sign up without any intent - but I thought I'd share this counterpoint.
It used to be available on their site, but they do have a number: http://online-brokers.credio.com/l/128/Robinhood

Not cool that they took it off.
It boggles my mind that Twitter still does not provide a built-in way to follow a hashtag.
Text encodings have come and gone before, too. We don't use the Baudot code on modern computers still, and EBCDIC is confined to IBM mainframes.
Incidentally, the volume of air required to ideally burn a litre of gasoline is also quite large.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gasoline#Energy_content

1 kg of fuel reacts with 3.51 kg of oxygen to produce 3.09 kg of carbon dioxide and 1.42 kg of water

Scaling that to the standard density of 0.755kg/L, that means 2.65kg of oxygen for 1L of gasoline. Assuming the typical 20% oxygen content of air at standard temperature and pressure, that is over 9000L of air.

So the air consumption of a car with fuel consumption of 0.1mm^2 is 0.0009m^2 or 900mm^2.

Edit: 900mm^2, not 900000.

Exactly how I felt. I had heard the Gandhi quote, "First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win." But knowing what Malamud has accomplished, and knowing how obvious some of his stuff seems in retrospect, it was really heartening to know that the first stage for him took years.
Were Intel transmit the designs for that supercomputer that Intel weren't allowed to build in China to get around export regs, they'd be put in prison.

If Intel were to publish detailed instructions for building this computer in a book, there's no question that it would be protected by the first amendment.

I think this is a great example of the points illustrated in the article: Namely that interpretation of a {photo, sentence, whatever} depends on the history/background of the subject receiving the information and is one of the reasons why the field is "so far [away]".

For example, a person who had no experience/knowledge of scales like that shown would have a tough time discerning what the reason for humour was.
In our old car, the catalytic converter wasn't effective, and the cost of fixing it was more than the car than the car was worth. The check engine light was on constantly as a result, but it was easy to ignore. Judging by the smell of that car's exhaust, it was definitely in the 25%.

Bad air-fuel ratios also cause lots of pollution due to unburned fuel being sent out the tailpipe. I would think that this is less common with fuel-injected vehicles, but there are still plenty of old carburated vehicles on the road, especially where road salt isn't used.
Per Facebook as of March 2015, 936M people use the service every day, 798M using their phone. I love Twitter too, but with 13% of the world using it every day, it's no ghost town.

Depending on what you mean by "spreads" that is probably not correct.

One thing they are certainly doing is selling their order flow. Large HFT firms like Knight & Citadel pay brokerages like Robinhood for the privilege of routing retail orders. You can find the documents in their "Disclosure Library".

https://brokerage-static.s3.amazonaws.com/assets/robinhood/l...

http://public.s3.com/rule606/apex/APEX_1Q2015_Rule606.pdf

It's important to note that it is likely that all retail brokers are doing this, so this is not how Robinhood is able to offer no fees.

Either they have significant cost advantages (new infrastructure/cheaper labor etc) or they have better deals with the people executing their orders.

Which is why I'd wait until they make an offer as they are less likely to back out at that point as they've already made the decision to hire me whereas they might (even subconsciously) take it into consideration if I tell them before.

Also, getting offer is valuable information on what my current market rate it.
A summary of the three papers is here: http://media.utoronto.ca/media-releases/traffic-emissions-ma... They just set up some measurement tools by the side of the road and waited for cars to drive by. They didn't check the "tune" of each car or test whether any kind of tune-up would change anything.

It's not actually a new technique, this. You have a transparent screen (or LEDs or what have you) and move it up and down very quickly, and your persistence of vision makes it look like a single image. Just as a 1D line of dots becomes a 2D image by spinning it (you've all seen those LED fans[0], or heard of John Logie Baird's televisions), so too does a 2D matrix of dots become a 3D image by moving it vertically.

I assume what's new here is that the VoxieBox does a particularly good job of it.

I will never understand why Americans keep using miles per gallon instead of liters per 100 km. Miles per gallon is only good if you want to advertise your car ("look, with this car you can travel 50 miles with one gallon whereas with that one you can only travel 40 miles").

But you never do that in real life, you never fill your car with say, two gallons and say "now I'll travel 80 miles".

Instead you always know the distance between two points and you want to know how much will that travel cost you. So you think like this: "distance from point A to point B is 250km, my car uses 6 liters per 100 km so I'll use 15 liters, 1 liter price is 2€ so it'll cost me 30€". Easy as pie and you can't do that with miles per gallon.
College Majors Figure Big in Earnings
My experience is completely the opposite to yours. My Facebook feed is full of information I really don't care about: what people had for dinner, where they are, invitations to play games, ugly pictures, etc. My Twitter feed on the other hand is full of nuggets that keep me informed on things I'm "really" interested in. My advice to you is that you just need to follow the right people.
That's more likely to mislead, because it implies a difference between 'Car' and 'Vehicle', and 'Vehicle' can include trains, ships, planes, etc.

> Does badbedo do re-pricing based on the positive or negative factors? From the blog it appears to be choosing optimal prices based on the market, not on the user.

Because we are currently only on Amazon we can't do optimization based on the customer because we only get information about him when a sale is made. So at the moment we optimize based on market and past sales history.

I am generally open to the idea of customer based pricing and think that it can be very powerful if done right and be benifical to both the merchant and the customer.

It seems there's more to it than just badly tuned - it seems how to drive also effected the results:

"The most surprising thing we found was how broad the range of emissions was," says Evans. "As we looked at the exhaust coming out of individual vehicles, we saw so many variations. How you drive, hard acceleration, age of the vehicle, how the car is maintained – these are things we can influence that can all have an effect on pollution."

Not sure how they can tell "how a car is maintained" or "how you drive" from spot checking 100K with a roadside probe... anyone have thoughts?
Happy to hear this, as an expat living in Berlin and being very concerned with the current NSA situation.
That is how depression sometimes goes.

That's why. It's exactly the same thing you're talking about.
Your post is interesting.

Your first three points are about photos, and then the third point says anybody who wants to post photos is already on Instagram. This is ironic considering most of the people I follow post their Instagram photos - on Twitter.

I do agree however on the embedded tweets. In a world where apps go to great lengths to minimize the amount of clicks people have to make to get to their content, it seems Twitter is incredibly behind the times in this regard.

As for longer tweets, I've read several interviews with the founders and they said they will steadfastly defend a limit on the amount of characters for posts. They say this is what separates Twitter from other social media platforms. As a user, if I have something I need to write about, I never do it on Twitter, there are an abundant other options to do this.

I do agree they need new leadership. As other social media platforms have morphed to keep pace with the changes their users want, Twitter has effectively done nothing to help make their platform any better than when I joined almost five years ago.
Anatomy of a leak: how a Yahoo insider leaked information to Nick Carlson [pdf]
Badly tuned generally refers to incorrect AFR (air-fuel ratios). These can not only cause lower power, but increase the amount of unburned fuel and other chemicals in the exhaust.

On some high performance cars you can even go as far as using the fuel's injection to cool combustion and decrease knock in the combustion cycle of the engine...sometimes this can lead to a richer AFR (more fuel in exhaust gases) which causes pollution.
