Maybe I am overly sensitive to these things but I recall really embarrassing things people have done and have a hard time not associating those actions with the person.

I think the reason people are socially anxious is not because they think people 'give a fuck' but rather because they're confused by social signals / body language / verbal cues and that sort of thing. They don't know how to mesh and mingle properly with a crowd.

From what I read is that MDMA will help the autistic increase their emotional IQ and "fit in" better. Not because it will help them ignore what other people think of them.
Yes. The big company becomes a victim of its own size and history of choices. The way they set the company up 10 years ago (or more) will still echo in everything done today. For better or worse.

I hosted lots of couchsurfing type people, on I believe a pre-CS network in the same light, circa 2005. Can't remember the name. Later, I joined CS. There were some great characters that turned up in my house in Qingdao, China (right by the ferry-ride to Korea) .. global cycle-tourists, Japanese-American documenters of vanishing island dance traditions, and a schizophrenic East German woman. The latter was our last guest due to the difficulty of the experience. I never actually stayed with anyone else, only provided a room and sort of free tour guide services which is a big unmentioned portion of what these networks are/were.

I still get emails from CS though .. including one this morning from a Canadian who typically laments, in English: I have had a great trip so far but unfortunately have not got to meet and connect with many chinese people due to language barriers. Imagine that.

(Edit in reply to Michael below (out of posts): From the statistics at https://www.warmshowers.org/country_count it looks like Europe by far holds the most numerous number of members in the smallest geographical area, ie. it should be easiest to navigate solely by WarmShower hosts in this region.

Typical living costs for cycle touring Europe are 5 (stretch but possible) to 10 (feasible) to 15 (comfy) EUR/day for food. If you can budget 20 you can get drunk too. Add 5 for museums, I reckon you're good. 25EUR is about 28USD. The exchange rate is the best it has been in 10 years. Go now!!!)

Which part of the UK are you in? I knew there was a growing housing problem nationwide, but it's always interesting/depressing to hear specifics.

I'm in Aberdeen, and I've noticed the same kind of issue, except here renting a two-bed in a not-crappy part of town is £1,000+ per month. A crappier area, like where I live, is between £700 and £800. A nice area is in the region of £1,500.

Here, the (currently stuttering) oil industry has had a huge intensifying effect on price rises, both by putting more well-paid people into the rental market and by creating a larger than average pool of Buy-to-Let landlords looking to invest their oil earnings in property "for their retirement".
Because anything that's vulnerable to collision attacks is theoretically vulnerable to preimage attacks. Where I went wrong was assuming that preimage attacks were practical, but as you've rightly said, there's been no known exploits because of their extreme difficulty.

So it's one of those situations where everyone was right: it's so impractical to exploit that it's as good as not vulnerable even though it's mathematically possible.

SSD: How to Optimize Your Solid State Drive for Linux
When you become an utterly dependable one-party voter you really diminish your say in what your party stands for.

More than that, though, if Rand Paul actually got the nomination -- which he almost certainly won't -- and went on to win the general election, that would potentially be a lot bigger than one minor victory in the constant right-vs-left tug-of-war over American government. It would be a political realignment, because the coalition Rand Paul would build and the platform he would run on are not the traditional Republican coalition and platform.

It could be the start of America actually having a pro-liberty party. That tradeoff might be worth it even for folks on the left who lean libertarian.
wrong -- they didnt get tor correct. when he states the exit node in tor would lead to discovering his hidden service for his CP -- access to hidden services does NOT require an exit node

check out anonymous' unmasking of CP hidden services. they had to deploy multiple relay nodes to find the service so that one would eventually become a guard node...
I found it kind of silly how the poster alludes to this being an issue with the success of the game (operational costs, don't let execs try again), but really, the game was simply boring to begin with. You have something as amazing as lego, and you don't design your game around the concept of building whatever you want...
Almost. In Rust to use a trait, you have to explicitly import it. That means if you want to run `.to_json()` on something, you need to import trait `ToJson`. Then again if you want to force a type of something (for example an empty hashmap) you need to import the types which are included.

So what in a dynamic language could be:

a.to_json() if a else {}.to_json()

In rust will start with:

use rustc_serialize::json::{ToJson,Json};
use std::collections::BTreeMap;

Expensive urban areas suffer from an excess of demand for housing, while the stock of houses is naturally limited, pushing the rental rates through the roof. A good example would be London, UK. New York and San Francisco in the US are other good examples. People want to move there, because they are attracted by the jobs. The question is now, of course, why do employers want to move there? Because their customers are there? I doubt it. The economies of SF or NY obviously feed on the rest of the country. Because labour is cheaper there? Also not. With communication channels pretty much of equivalent quality across the country, there is no rational, justifiable reason for an employer to set up his offices in an expensive urban area. He is just pushing down the standards of living for the lower salary rungs of his staff.

> the fact that "exposure to genitalia" makes kids more likely to violate the social taboo and show their own genitalia

How is that a fact? Is there evidence to support it? Looking at less prudish countries, it doesn't seem to be the case.
I have to add that verbosity serves a purpose here. Programming in the large often means those systems are long-living and the teams programming and maintaining them are huge, heterogeneous (in skill), and changing (esp. if it's a system running for decades). The verbosity comes from making many things pretty explicit and clear.

Ada is not made for explorative hacking or intellectual workouts but for reliable implementation. And it's not that those who criticize its verbosity program in APL themselves. ;)
Dynamic type checks are actually pretty damn useful.

For example the MongoDB adapter samples the data at runtime to determine what the DataFrame definition i.e. types is.
> If it came down to Sanders and Paul, it would be a tough decision to make and I'd probably lean Sanders out of concern for all the other issues. But at this point Paul is more likely to get the nomination for his party than Sanders so it seems like a moot discussion.

Not that you can tell much about who is likely to win the nomination this far out from the first primary (basically, what you can tell now is name recognition prior to significant campaigning, which would mislead as to the winner of the nomination in most elections where there isn't an incumbent President or Vice President in the primary.)
> The HDMI port doesn't support audio (in either Windows or Linux)

Are you sure? This seems very odd, and I cant find a single mention of this in a review. Does the mini-DP port carry audio? My X240 works perfectly fine with audio over mini-DP in linux (there is no full size HDMI). I dont know about windows, I dont use it.

>click pad issue

The clickpad sucks on the X240 too -- but I never actually push-to-click it. Do people not tap to click on laptops in 2015? This complaint is a strawman IMO, the push-to-click sucks on Apple and every other laptop I've seen it on as well. As a standard trackpad, its fine.

>wifi

Zero issues since day 1 on the X240 with the default intel 7260 card. Not sure which card you have, but I've yet to see a laptop with an intel wifi card that has issues in linux. If you have a different vendor's card and its giving you issues preventing you from using linux, it might be worth the $30 to pick up an intel card.
I agree for the average person it's not too significant, but the average person on this site earns well above the average person.

As an example, for a programmer in a ~37% tax bracket owning a million dollar home in the Silicon Valley, you could be talking about a tax-deduction on the order of $12k annually.

With that said, MORL looks like a very interesting product -- and probably a better investment than a house for most people.
I agree, and wonder about what kinds of communication it would facilitate. Writing computer programs in Lojban?

I think there is more to it than that: people like functional public transit systems, people like the concentration of others with similar interests, people like diversity, people like living arounds lots of restaurants, bars, entertainment...

> The question is now, of course, why do employers want to move there?

Everytime I go to NYC I wonder this very thing. Looking at the tiny, tiny offices and how expensive EVERYTHING is I don't really understand why there are so many companies there. I guess it's a bit of PR / marketing but surely having offices there (especially in Manhattan) doesn't make sense otherwise, right?

Though I could be missing something. I just feel like it has to be mostly PR / marketing.

The US's post-WWII global dominance is dead. It has been eaten by changing technology, changing political landscape, its own aggression, the natural exhaustion of resources following the US-backed global expansion of unbridled capitalism, and dynastic powers lurking and pulling strings within its own political and economic sphere. The only question is, how fast will it adapt and how vindictive will the rest of the world be over the next century. News at 9.

Just turned 30 and by the time I heard it s/Black/Bad/ happened so it was only violent and sexist. I heard it from a older professor in my early 20's and was quite shocked that it was a thing, but I remembered it.
Professors are supposed to challenge the thought processes of their students so this is more like a trash collector facing lawsuits for dealing with trash in a way that makes a few people angry. It does students no favors to coddle them throughout college instead of preparing them for the real world where nobody cares if it's inconvenient for them to deal with other people's opinions. College is meant to prepare people for the real world.

It's morally wrong to subject others to unfair lawsuits, as noted elsewhere in this thread in some jurisdictions it's even codified in law: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barratry_%28common_law%29

It's not awful for me to point out that I see people who are the victims of morally wrong actions being blamed for what's happening to them. Who's doing the blaming just makes it ironic.
> The question is now, of course, why do employers want to move there?

Because those places are very good places for rich people -- because they have enough of them close enough together to support services catering specifically to them -- and because employers (at least, the executives making decisions for them) are rich people.

Now Meetup performs much of the same functions and is far easier to sign-up, navigate and participate. There's usually a bunch of couchsurfing 'meet-ups' in every major city.
Cool. Sort of feel like I had heard of that somehow, must have been a few years ago.

Actually my family were thinking of buying some recumbent bikes and cycling this trip in Europe (3 months looking for a new house) but couldn't get enough info quick enough to make it happen. Kind of sux, but we're still keen. If you have any recommendations for places that stock or build custom recumbent bikes around western Europe, let me know.

Did you watch the latest video on the adventure of a Real Estate Broker?
I disagree with many things he writes. For example, safety in a language has never and will never come from particular language constructs. In the best case, we can isolate particular pieces of the program and look for counterexamples that will demonstrate that it does not work. That is why we use unit tests where applicable (where functions are at least idempotent). His concept of language safety is therefore spurious. There is simply no reason whatsoever to believe that a program in Ada would be safer than a program written in any other language. Safety is about validation and a program or a language cannot validate itself.

Furthermore, a programming language is something with a strong personality attached to it. Someone created it, because he felt like doing so and then you have other people who like it and feel like using it. Ada's language design committee did not qualify for that scenario.

By the way, could you imagine someone passionate about revolutionizing the world with his new idea that will defeat Facebook or so, writing his passionate ideas in Ada?

Seriously, nobody got the slightest enthusiastic about Ada and that is why Ada barely has any users at all. The language simply does not reflect what any user group would want to do. In other words, Ada has always been a solution desperately looking for a problem.
Why didn't Lego just buy Minecraft, or create a similar game under a different brand? It doesn't tarnish their core product's reputation, yet they still profit off of the niche. Seems like they'd have the capital, and domain expertise to accomplish this.

Seeing and annoyed by the same thing. I'm surprised Google would muck up the UI that badly
I've posted this before, but it's germane here: http://www.buzzfeed.com/dlknowles/britains-dysfunctional-pro... . The UK and London in particular has essentially decided to make increasing the supply of housing through building more of it extremely, extremely hard. Econ 101 suggests that holding supply constant as demand increases will raise prices.

The solution is intellectually easy but politically difficult. The UK can, if it so chooses, make housing much less expensive by simply letting markets function.

There is another side to this. With "cloud" you trust remote party to process the data for you. With the mobile, you trust the local device. Even if the cloud means "an audited software, which you run on hardware you physically own, located at your housing" (which is rarely the case) I think it's still less safe than a device that does everything right in your hands.
