I'm 110% with you on hating pipe to shell, however. Your arguments don't really address the issue.

And note also that you can just clone from github if you don't like piping to shell. And nothing prevents you from packaging it yourself in your own trusted repository. If you run serious infrastructure, you already do this.
It depends on what you want to do. The "technology world" is a big place. If you're going into biotech, for example, you can do just as well with a BS in Biology or Genetics and taking a few programming courses to give you an edge when it comes to areas that are using computers heavily (like Bioinformatics). The same goes for Physical Sciences, or Mathematics/Econ or even Geography.

Most CS Degrees cover:

1. Basic and Advanced Programming
2. Design of Computer Systems (both hardware and software)
3. Design of Operating Systems
4. Theory of Computing (so Algorithms and Data Structures)
5. Other special topics like Networking, AI, Expert Systems, Bioinformatics, etc.

These topics are important for some jobs, and people who excel in some of the advanced areas (and often go on for an MS) can make mega bucks. However, a programmer designing a corporate website or other CRUD system probably won't need/use half of the stuff they learned in their degree, and would likely earn less than someone who excelled in another engineering/science degree that also picked up some programming knowledge.
According to wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unidad_de_Fomento), Chile's UF was created in 1968.

I think the Pinochet dictatorship expanded the UF to be used in financial transactions like mortgages. Large loans such as for cars or college are also in UF.

It would be interesting to know whether Chile's UF served as inspiration to these brazilians.

Is this really a suitable counter-question? GPUs lend themselvse towards specific kinds of programming problems + added latency of GPU communication. On the contrary, the cost between switching from any on-CPU language is programmer time that may result in significant runtime advantages.
So like the 80s.

i see what you're saying, but i disagree with your premise. particularly in light of both the article and the parent comments. consciousness is a defacto categorisation because we cannot point to a distinct thing which defines it.

we have a shared understanding of consciousness which is separate from 'just' life (ie.apes are conscious but plants are not) but also separate from merely categorisation (ie.we think there are fundamental differences between conscious and not conscious). like when a syndrome becomes a disease.. we are looking for some thing we can point to and say this why we have this set of symptoms.

but this article is suggesting is that possibly there actually is no difference between conscious and not conscious, and that perhaps we are looking for the wrong thing. that is, they are suggesting that consciousness is not a thing, but an emergent illusion / experience.
Agreed. We had a segfault in Servo due to upgrading the compiler (and some internal representations changing). I wasn't able to track it myself (unfamiliarity with the code), but someone else was able to find its origin and fix it without much trouble because of `unsafe`. (That aside, we very rarely have segfaults in Servo, and Servo's huge)

> When does this stop?

When the roll out of the prison-planet is complete. When bitcoin, gold and cash are all illegal. When everyone is chipped and can't buy or sell without their chip activated. And when if you misbehave, your chip is deactivated, and you are a non-citizen who can no longer work or buy food. At this point dissent disappears, and the New World Order is complete.

Either that, or when World War 3 is in full effect. Whichever comes first.

The thing to understand is none of this is new. This concious process by a transnational elite to do away with sovereignty has been going on for at least a hundred years. What was surprising was the emergence of this global computer network where things that leak can be discovered by the masses. What's different now is you are finding out that these secrets exits. Before the Internet, the secrets stayed secret.

Since I signed up on GitHub I was searching for this bug: to "draw" things on others contributions graphs. And finally I found a trick. I cannot tell you exactly how it works, but the docs are very clear, you will get it: https://help.github.com/articles/why-are-my-contributions-no...

I disclosed this trick to the security team, but they said it's a low priority bug and I cannot get a reward for it (https://bounty.github.com/).

So, I thought: if I cannot get money for this discover, I will get some popularity. And I "vandalized" some contributions graphs:

- https://github.com/addyosmani
- https://github.com/vim-scripts
- https://twitter.com/IonicaBizau/status/594024920826380288

Then I shown the GitHub Security team the mess I did. They told me not to do that again since this is a violation of the GitHub's terms. I kept that in mind and didn't repeat it.

On the other side, Addy Osmani really liked this:

- https://twitter.com/addyosmani/status/594068463687233536
- https://twitter.com/addyosmani/status/595323559947427841

And the popularity came as well: new followers and stars!

Now, since you know everything, if you want to give me a reward, here is a Paypal donation url: https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_b...

Hi there, not sure what you mean by Docker-independent hypervisor engine? Hyper uses Docker images format in order to ship containers, but is totally independent from Docker engine.
I've been writing ES6 with Babel for a couple of months now, and I've fallen in love with destructuring - it's my second favorite part, besides arrow functions. My only complaint, having run into this a few times in real code, is that you can only use destructuring with assignment, not with existing variables. So this works:

let myThing = {a: 4};
let {a} = myThing;

But this does not:

let a = 5;
let myThing = {a: 4};
{a} = 5;

I understand there are some problems of ambiguity here, but it seems to me this could be made to work somehow?
Ha ha ha, that's great! If we are sent to programmer purgatory, at least we'll have each other.

Tax-deductible debt as it relates to financial engineering is what is tough to rationalize. For example, the primary function of a PE-fund is to buy ownership of a company by levering it up and then capturing tax shields (US debt subsidy in this article). This is where 99% of the value generated by a fund comes from. In my view, this is more or less a direct transfer of wealth from the taxpayer to the PE-fund.
In the future some Go programs may fail or perform really badly (not exit for minutes) with GOMAXPROCS=1. Since Go isn't preemptively scheduled if you have a goroutine in a long-running or busy loop the program will run normally using 2 CPUs and freeze with 1. Even well-written programs can become "chunky" with 1 CPU and exhibit huge latency spikes not seen with 2 CPUs. Because of M:N threading.

He acts as if he had no part in signing up to be an AirBNB user and just came home from work one days to find his apartment trashed by the freak fest.

He doesn't seem to act like that at all. He's acting like signing up for AirBNB doesn't mean you expect this to happen. He refers to some AirBNB guarantee, although I'm not sure what it says. In any case, I think it's reasonable to assume that signing up for AirBNB won't make you homeless.

I'm sort of hesitant to use Gawker as an authoritative news source, but I'm willing to trust them that they do not entirely manufacture quotes from PR reps.
Here's a link to Gawker, first hit for "xxx freak fest" for those doubting the story, including a statement by Airbnb where they promised to help the host: http://gawker.com/man-unwittingly-rents-out-apartment-on-air...
> Also, their management to worker ratio.

Can you elaborate?
This is a multi-part series; if you're not familiar with the story the "fait-accompli" tone of this post isn't going to sound melodious. AirBnB screwed this guy over more than a year ago, and a great deal of evidence was posted regarding how exactly things went down, and it certainly sounded like malfeasance on their part. If you just go to dearairbnb.tumblr.com there's a lot more info.

Signing up for AirBnB exposes you to the same risks as if you sublet your living space the same way it would in a traditional transaction. Rent to shitty people? You're responsible. AirBnB does not guarantee a pleasant experience, nor is it required to make this person whole by getting them removed from whatever tenant blacklist they're on.

Welcome to bumps on the "sharing economy" road.

Edit: it appears property management companies are using public court records to screen this person, preventing them from renting. That's not an AirBnB problem, that's a fair housing legislation problem.
This happened a year ago and AirBNB paid him $23,000 for the damages at the time. His new complaint is that he has been blacklisted from renting in NYC.
While I agree with the tone of the message, I don't agree with how he tries to spin the ball. The constant repetition of 'You need to fix thix' feels really childish and finger-pointy.

Does anyone exactly what AirBnB's legal requirements/jib-jab is on this stuff?

The freak fest thing is true:

http://gawker.com/man-unwittingly-rents-out-apartment-on-air...

Whether or not this is the same person or an imposter? Who knows. But it wouldn't be surprising.

If true, it's entirely possible that Airbnb is more concerned about setting a precedent for any and all auxiliary damages that go along with a bad stay. What happens when someone gets kicked out of their apartment because a guest accidentally tipped off management that they were an Airbnb renter?
Or, I think that I think, therefore I think that I am. In some sense, at least, it amounts to the same thing.
How is AirBnB responsible for how property management companies use public court record data? Sigh.
People who rent out apartments they don't own fully deserve to get blacklisted.

The author dares to call it "my apartment", but you don't get evicted from your own apartment. He is the one who abused someone else's property in the first place.

Edit: I truly don't understand all the downvotes. Here's someone who illegally exploits someone else's apartment for profit, and clearly feels no responsibility for his role in the whole affair. What is so abnormal about the fact that no one wants to rent to this person anymore?

If I borrow your car, rent it to someone I don't know who then proceeds to crash it, would you then consider met the victim or the a-hole who abused your trust to make fast buck and got your car totalled?
It says they cover property damage and doesn't mention other things like eviction.

That's precisely the point: Google is trying to convince everyone that they're as design-driven as Apple.
AirBnB probably doesn't have any.

Now the question is why hasn't he sued the crap out of the tenant who lied to him and decided to have a sex orgy in his apartment?
"Separate those into two commands"? That's it? Really?

This just screams "cargo cult".
You should be kicked out of your apartment if you put your apartment on AirBnB in violation of your lease. "Breech of contract" and all that jazz.
Leaving that out from the post is pretty misleading. He keeps saying "you need to fix this". What else does he expect them to do?
It seems like the issue here should be that rentals/hotels are discriminating based on whether someone operates as an AirBnB host or not. Other renter's who do the same without such a notable 'incident' are the same level of risk. It is quite unfair I believe that this person is unable to find a rental. Rental agencies should figure out their stance and make it clear and unilateral.
Openbmap
From this line of the article, quite low: "A distribution-center manager overseeing 800 associates..." That is, many workers per manager.

Which suggests that workers 1) know their jobs, 2) do them, and 3) managers facilitate and largely get out of the way.
Confusing abusing someone else with abusing someone else's property is the reason for so much pain and evil in this world.

Thanks for propagating the mythos.
Python in CPython is executed after being compiled to the lower-level Python bytecode. Is this not sufficient to consider CPython to involve a virtual machine?
The guy has reportedly received $23k from Airbnb following the orgy, sued his condo for its super's disparaging comments, a doctor for misdiagnosing him, and is sued by some other guy for defamation in an unrelated issue.
Irrespective of legal requirements, Airbnb's messaging is certainly that you shouldn't have to worry about stuff like this.

_The_ barrier to Airbnb being effective in the first place was people being comfortable with frequent, low barrier transactions where they let strangers into their house. I would agree with the poster, Airbnb does need to fix this. It's core to their model.
I don't think waiting is going to fix this problem...

His problem is being on the NYC tenant blacklist, not finances. How does suing the AirBnB guest take him off the blacklist?
I'm not super familiar with computer graphics, so you'll have to let me know if my description fits what you guys do ;)

I found a youtube video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=msX1ypCjkK4) that should give you an idea of what I'm describing actually looks like. Specifically it introduces the concept of a multi-leaf collimator which serves as the main collimating device in modern radiotherapy. The other degree of freedom is the angle of the gantry you see rotating around the patient.

Typically for every gantry angle, the treatment planning software would split up an open field (no collimation) into a bunch of 1x1 cm^2 "beamlets" and would simulate what kind of dose distribution you would get inside the patient from each beamlet (you turn the patient CT into a big 3D grid of voxels to simulate dose in).

You then throw all those dose distributions into an optimiser, and you do what's called a fluence map optimisation which gives you the amount of radiation you want to deliver out of each beamlet. This is the optimisation step I described earlier where the cost function is basically a square difference between the dose in each organ from a given set of beamlet weights and what you want the dose to actually be. Healthy tissue is the limiting factor so you give as much as you can to the tumour while making sure that less than X% of the volume of a nearby organ gets more than Y units of radiation. There's a final step at the end that turns the fluence maps into actual deliverable apertures shaped by the multi leaf collimator.

There's a huge amount of work that goes into the simulation aspect. You can't just model the radiation beam as pure light sources that attenuate in the body via some exponential decay because the high energy photons scatter off electrons which themselves scatter around while depositing energy (radiation dose) away from the point of interaction. The gold standard is Monte Carlo simulations (which is my area of research) since you can model the actual physics of particle transport but in practice most clinics will use a faster engine to generate dose distributions. The faster engines typically superpose a primary component (a pure exponential decay) convolved with a kernel representing the energy that gets deposited away from the point of interaction.

That's probably way more information than you wanted ;)
More typically a co-op will raise funds from members via shares. I'm a bit shaky on specifics, but those shares may be capable of being sold back (to the co-op as a whole). Voting righs often _don't_ accrue per share.

Debt financing, as mentioned, is another alternative.

Read with caution, I'm really sketchy on details.
>It's not as if our subconscious is constantly churning unbeknownst to us over how the meat that we are eating is non horse meat.

Actually, that is exactly what your subconscious does. You are literally thinking vocal thoughts to yourself constantly. You could be having a conversation at the dinner table while your subconscious mind vocally (internally) remarks about the colour of someone's tie and the taste of the meat you're eating all at the same time. You don't usually hear these thoughts or realize that you're thinking them. Through meditation anyone can come to hear the actual vocal versions of these subconscious streams of thought.

Psychotropic drugs can help too.
I really won't miss AirBNB when the inevitable blizzard of lawsuits destroys it.

What a terrible company.
Unfortunately, there's a reason why subletting for less than 30 days is _illegal_ in New York City. Because you attract a crowd of people who like to do Sex Orgies in stranger's houses.

At the end of the day, it was a mistake for the author to use AirBNB, and now he is paying the price.
Is that uncommon for warehouse/factory work?
"It’s too early to write off Tidal"

No it's not. It's over. There's no coming back from a $75M in debt at startup that makes no money with no end in sight. You'll need more investment. But who invests in companies that already owe huge debts and have terrible press? People that expect major ownership and a change in leadership, that's who. Or people that want to pick through the bones and pull out IP.

Maybe I'm wrong but if they get another infusion of cash, or make a profit in the next 3 years and bootstrap their way back, I'll be surprised.
this is tongue in cheek but given that airbnb does not concern itself with the NYC tenant blacklists this might be one of few viable options for this guy.
