That's one of the (few) things that is good about the monopoly in Sweden, awesome wine for cheap price (9-10$). Since they negotiate for whole of Sweden they get good prices. We also have a tier system where only the best selling wines remain in "tier 1" (every shop).

Due to the proclivities of Swedish people drinking wine-in-a-box (in a park) it's also resulted in us having above normal quality selection of boxed wines.

Spirits are damn expensive though... and you can't buy anything cold, or on a sunday :)
Life without parole is also cruel. Sadly not unusual.
Ah. Nuance, critical thought. Appreciation for subtle, yet important considerations for a subject that people devote their lives to. Not often one sees that here, and I thank you.
For those who are beyond help, nothing? For the loved ones of the victims, it could provide a sliver of comfort, and that is priceless compared to taking away the freedom of someone who has no right to it.
Heh.

I would hope so! But even a place like Ask.com is clearly a couple million dollars a day in ad revenue.
I think in many cases you will be right and 'they' won't be able to secure it. This will force them to contact out those applications to someone who can. Plenty of SaaS providers able to secure a network. Just because my incompetent I.T. Guy can't properly harden a mail server doesn't mean we can't hire Rackspace or Microsoft or someone else who can. Let's incentivize competence, not hide incompetence.
I've often heard that blind taste tests contradict these claims in the extreme ($30 bottle vs $100 bottle for example). Are there blind taste tests among any group that back up such a claim? Or are we just knocking out the truly cheap bottles?

I was told by a man who professionally tested wines around the world that I should generally not spend more than $20 a bottle, and I'm often happy with $15.
> The problem is there is no unclaimed land to drop them on anymore that makes sense.

GitHub provides: - Repo hosting, - Search, - Community

In comparison to decentralized Search and Community, decentralized file storage is easy. Conveniently, centralized repo hosting is the biggest problem. Not being able to Search / Comment / Report a bug during a DDOS decreases productivity, but not being able to push commits / run CI tools is a productivity halt.

The best next move, might be to focus on decentralized repository hosting, solve that well, and allow users to conveniently mirror the GitTorrent repos on GitHub. Giving the best of both worlds until Search and Community can also be solved well.

This may mean GitTorrent would need some form of post push hooks (i.e. to update mirrors or run CI). Which I'm sure is doable.
. By the author's logic, we should all eat McDonalds or Panda Express.

There are other reasons not to eat junk food. Drinking wine that you like that also happens to be chap isn't necessarily bad for your health. Seriously, how did this comment end up on top?
Your comment sounds a reply made in rush. I feel sorry for the OP and regarding the book I specifically mentioned "curious readers" and not a specific recommendation to OP.

But then didn't I know that I'd receive this kind of response very quickly? I knew most would respond like this here, but I care for the single one who might get inspired to proceed and read the book till the last page. If I can help transform one life for the better my job is done!

Everyone is entitled to have his own opinion. But a lightbulb is required to remove the darkness.
There's this really interesting concept of "experience stretching" in Dan Gilbert's book "Stumbling on happiness". That as you refine your taste you demote everything else. When you've been to Hawaii your local resort won't seem so good. When you start drinking expensive wine everything else taste like swill.

The question of course, is it a good thing to indulge in experience stretching or should one not try things that we'll miss.

I always had the feeling that of course we should strive for constant refinement, atleast within some boundaries rather than stay ignorant... but it's not always the easiest route when your taste start to outmatch your capabilities and wallet :)
I'm not sure why the criminals are bothering. AdSense clicks earn almost nothing in my experience. I guess they could be making money by charging businesses to click on their competitors' ads and drain their budgets, but there are only so many companies that are willing to pay to engage in clearly illegal activity like that. The primary beneficiary of the fraudulent clicks that are good enough to evade Google's detection is....Google.
Doesn't MS rely on users too? Users of Windows, instead of users of browsers, but it's still in both of their interests to get developers using their platforms.

At the end of the day, all large companies have to dip their toes in new technologies, or die. Some of these projects will work out and others won't. Small companies do the exact same thing, except instead of announcing they are discontinuing a project they go bust.

My approach is not to get too tied to any vendor's technology, because if you do, you're setting yourself up for a fall. The rise of open source and standards has made this much easier than it once was, luckily.

"If hints of cassis, subtle earthiness, and jammy notes don’t interest you, you are not a lesser person. "

Here's a nice tip: Buy cheap wine and crème de cassis. Crème de cassis is an intensely flavored liquer made from blackcurrants (and loads of sugar). One of it's original uses was as a "condiment" for cheap wine. Some cafes used to put it out so customers could add it to their wine if they didn't like the wine. Today, the mixture of Cassis and white wine is called Kir, which is one of the most popular cocktails in France. A little cassis makes a good wine better, and a lot makes even a terrible wine possible to drink.

From the top comment: "As a personal project for kicks? Sure it's cool. Would I let me company run it? Hell no!"

Another user: "What I'm saying is that "pull requests welcome" is a really lazy way of telling someone to support themselves. That's fine if you have a unique set of needs, in that case you should be building things out specific to you." - perhaps in reference to "So if you'd like to be part of the project, please check out the roadmap and issues to see if there's anything you can help with."

Really, what's happening to people here?
Where my wife and I generally explore more expensive wines are when we indulge at Michelin * restaurants, or similar -- maybe 2x a year. We generally find taste depends on what we are eating, and rather than ordering the wine paring for a course/near, taste and evaluate as we go. Note, the only Michelin * restaurants we've been to are in the states.

When we travel Europe, give us local.

Local Bay Area, little difference for $20ish and $40ish local bottles.
I was going by the article here, which didn't say what the price range being distinguished was, and didn't cite any studies. I was more concerned with the logic that (even provably) refined tastes just reflected an arbitrary preference for the qualities of expensive wine.
The weird thing with wines is there's no consensus in blind tastings as to what constitutes a superior wine. Judges' ratings end up all over the map. With teas in the North American Tea Championship, which employs blind cupping, there is consistent consensus in that certain brands (usually smaller, not Lipton) beat out other brands by large margins by judges who agree. How does wine end up being so impenetrable that connoisseurship confers such inconsistent evaluations? Can we even discern a "deeper understanding" if that means liking/disliking wines at random? I mean what if a movie critic placed 2001: A Space Odyssey in the same league as Backdoor Sluts 9? We'd conclude rightly he's full of shit.

I think what we're really running into are the egos of oenophiles.
No.

We live in a system that considers both the text of a law and the Judicial precedent surrounding that law. The Judicial branch interprets law, and issues binding statements based on that interpretation multiple times per day every single day. For a recent example, search for "The state asked the court to employ a remedy in this situation" in [0] and read on until the end of the paragraph.

Notice that this remedy is something that courts are supposed to do whenever they can. Moreover, history is littered with creative interpretations of law. Wickard v. Filburn is one of the most well-known.

>The idea laws pass only when voted on by the full house and yet only a tiny subset have the data to make decisions is absurd.

Heh. You really need to spend a month or two and read all the level-headed accounts you can find of the role that staffers and lobbyists play in Congress.

I'm not sure, but I strongly suspect that when you learn how the sausage is made these days, you'll change some of your more objectionable opinions.

It's still an interesting commentary on Google's handling of Japanese kana. I knew immediately what the GP comment meant to say, but googling (.co.jp) for "ごんばって" doesn't even come up with a "did you mean...?"
Sorry to hear about your diagnosis. There is a lot of good
advice from other posters and I would like to offer you my
suggestions having performed the role of patient advocate
for all the members of my immediate family who all were
diagnosed and treated with various forms of cancer (5 out
of 6 family members, everyone except me). I have built
an extensive library of info, articles, resources, etc.
through the process of caring for my family members which
I would be happy to share with you and could offer more
help if we could speak so if you want to do that please
provide me a way to contact you.

1) Get a definitive diagnosis & treatment recommendations
from the best doctor you can find (I know a number of
internists, oncologists, oncology radiologists, cancer
surgeons, etc. that I could possibly recommend depending
on where you are located).

2) Get a second opinion to confirm the diagnosis is
accurate and also a second opinion on treatment
recommendations.

3) Much of what to do next will depend on #1 & 2 above
but there are a number of things you can do
immediately to greatly improve your chances of fully
beating your illness including:

-try and switch to a vegan diet and eat plant based
foods. All cancers are fueled by animal foods and
there is proven evidence vegans get fewer cancers and do
better with cancer treatments than non-vegans. There are
a number of foods that are especially good at preventing
and fighting cancer including allium foods (e.g. garlic),
cruciferous vegetables (e.g. broccoli, brussels sprouts,
etc.), spices such as turmeric, ginger, etc., green tea,
nuts & seeds, and others on the list of top cancer
fighting foods.

-significantly reduce and/or eliminate as
much sugar as you can from your diet, especially high
fructose corn syrup and other highly processed forms of
sugar. Sugar fuels cancer growth and to limit its
growth and possible spread, cutting out sugar will really
help.

-try and get as much cardiovascular exercise as you can
ideally at least 30-40 minutes at least 5-6 times per
week. Highly oxygenated blood which results from exercise
inhibits cancer cell proliferation plus it will make you
stronger and give you more energy especially before/after
treatments.

-try and get as much sleep as you can. Proper rest is
critical to help your body rejuvenate your normal cells
and boost your immune system to fight the cancer.
Maximizing your immune system is one of the most
important things you can do to fight and beat the
disease.

I don't have the space to include more but I can offer you
advice & suggestions if we can speak. One thing to know is
that there are many new promising approaches to treating
cancer that are proving to be highly successful including
immunotherapy and others. You are young and if you caught
it early your chances of a successful treatment and full
remission and a long cancer free life are very good.

Best of luck to you.
I thought about using git notes for this and didn't how it is better than adding issues, comments and wiki inside the repo itself. We are used to put documentation and tests alongside the code in our repo, why not add wiki and issues?

Top rated comments tend to engage in a deep way with the matter at hand, and not some superficial side issue.

My point wasn't related to health, but to the aesthetic qualities of the food itself. I don't think Panda Express is very unhealthy, and no more/less healthy than good Chinese food.
It sounds like pretty typical obfuscatory doublespeak to me. "tailored" really means "targeted" and "experience" is a word used so often that it has lost almost all meaning.

The other words that evoke an almost visceral reaction of disgust for me are "offers" and "deals".
what about an update to posix IPC instead of sysV? I thought Posix IPC is "better" these days?
This article is the contrary of everything I believe about wine :-) In Italy with 15 euro a bottle you can purchase one of the Italian Great Wines, not an everyday wine, like a bottle of Siant Michel Appian or similar very very good wine. What starts to be blurry is what you get with a 150 euro bottle compared to a 20 euro bottle... But in the 10-15 range there are awesome wines that you don't find if you descend in the 5-7 euro range, for example. Around 7-10 you can still, if you have the skills and drive, find good wines, but in the same range there is also garbage. Now, does it make sense to drink garbage? If you ask me, never in your life. So I drink 10-20 euros wins at home, alone, if I want to drink wine. Don't drink cheap wine, nor bad coffe, or trash food. Drink and eat less maybe, which is going to work for your health. Life is too short.
It means they can't steal the key, so the attacker has to actually have root on the device whenever new data is sent. That's risky for the attacker as they could be found out and possibly have their entry vector / zero day patched worldwide.

It also has open source random number generators, another defence against a passive attacker and requiring them to have root on the device.

>Free Art just says that art has no economic value and therefore the time spent on it doesn't either. It says some 3 year-old's finger paintings are no better or worse than the expression of someone's craft that took years to develop.

So if someone gives a 3 year-old a nickel for their fingerpainting, does that make it as significant as The Last Supper? Or is the significance of art directly proportional to its dollar valuation? When one person thinks it's worthless and another thinks it's priceless, what dollar valuation does it have?

>You could just throw a $10 bill in the air on a windy day every so often and the money would likely wind up helping someone, but that wouldn't be very rewarding for you, would it?

That actually describes quite well what shopping for CDs used to be like (except it was a $20 bill). Since you couldn't hear the music first, you were taking a random chance that there would be at least 1 or 2 songs that you might like on it. It was like an expensive lottery scratch ticket (complete with the joy when you found a rare winner and went to buy more of that band).

Artists absolutely should be able to make a living as well as anyone else (and make better money as they improve their skills/knowledge/experience). But I don't think the 'old' system was any better at that, except for the few who were both smart and lucky.

It's a difficult problem because the value of art is not always easily measured in dollars. Aside from some commercial or pop art, it's one of those cases where supply & demand and capitalist economics is insufficient for both the suppliers and the consumers. Traditional ownership also breaks down a bit when the thing becomes a part of you and also because the thing is not a physical object.

We do need a better solution that provides decent money to artists while not arbitrarily restricting access, censoring, or controlling what people have access to, or punishing/shaming them for accessing it. Crowdfunding and things like Patreon have made some progress toward providing alternatives, but there's still plenty of room for improvement.

A lot of people make a decent living now working with (and to some degree contributing to) open source software which is made freely available. I hope that more artists will soon be able to make a decent living while people can also have free access to (at least some of) their art.

He provided a system that could be used as a valuable service for legal activities. It could also be used for illegal or banned activities in various jurisdictions.

I'm just saying that it's a dangerous precedent to say that anyone creating a communication or transaction platform can be held liable for conspiring with users who use it to commit crimes.
Yea, exactly. But fan boyism runs deep in this industry, particularly on forums. It incredible to see my collogues get so caught up in one mega corp and then spend so much of their time trashing 'their' mega corps competition. I use each for what they are worth and I enjoy to watch them come, go, and compete.
Java is as much an Oracle product, as water is an Aquafina product or space is a NASA product. So, no, Java has gained enough ubiquity and popularity now so that no one company can monopolize it.

Many open source implementations of Java already exist like Apache Harmony project, the OpenJDK or Red Hat's Iced Tea apart from Oracle's reference implementation.

Coming to the point of there being plenty of languages, I don't think there are any exact substitutes. Low level languages like C/C++ are a bit overkill for application development.

Python is good (I'm a big fan myself), but an interpreter is much slower than a JIT compiled language even on a quad-core. I think we should have python as an option, but that should not be the only language.

The only real replacement (and even a better one) in my opinion is C#. C# is a much evolved language than Java and is also open source (Microsoft has made it so through the MCP).
Well, this is for esperanto being a conlang that is borrowing mostly from romance, slavic and germanic languages and indo-european languages in general. I have been studying italian for about 6 months, and I can comprehend written french and portuguese, and written/spoken spanish to an extent, all of which are romance languages i.e. latin descendants. And I have not really studied these languages. So esperanto is no special case here, it is not the magical special key to learn all the other languages.
Wait! What all did the Jackie Chan's Tuxedo do?
(1) Buy COBRA. Do it now. You have 60 days from when you left your old job. Fill out the COBRA form, either your old carrier or old employer should have sent it to the last address you had on file. If you haven't received it or lost it, call your old HR person & ask to discuss in person.

(2) When you start at your new job, they will submit forms for you to be covered. Those forms will take 30-45 days to process, because carriers do all this stuff by hand. It will be retroactive to the day you start. Most doctors are cool with waiting, but it's a risk.

(3) Some small percentage of the time, this will get goofed up by the outsourced data entry people carriers use, or the insurance broker your startup uses, and you won't get covered. You would find this out when you go to the doctor's office.

(4) Because of (2) and (3), you should sign up for COBRA from your old employer, so you can start using it now (it is retroactive to your end date at your old job). As soon as you are confirmed to be enrolled on your new company's plan, you can, if you want, drop the old COBRA.

(5) From the financial perspective of your employers, startups buy insurance from carriers on the "small group" market. Rates are determined by your employees' age, gender, smoking status, zipcode, etc, not past medical history. In other words, you will NOT raise everyone else's premiums.

(6) I'm an engineer at Zenefits, so I hear about & deal with this stuff day-in, day-out. If by chance your new employer uses us for health benefits (quite likely in the startup space) please ping me (email in profile) and I will personally make sure everything works out on your insurance enrollment. If you're not sure, ping me and I can check.

All the best.
Perfect anything
That's probably true, although I'm not sure it's a very meaningful distinction as you can make a fairly reasonable argument that Java popularized OOP in general or at least, put it in the mainstream. I did find the post I was thinking of

http://www.virtualschool.edu/objectivec/influenceOnJava.html

Among other things, it gives a bit of an inkling of the attitudes of the people working on then-current and new OOP systems and languages towards C++ at the time.

But, yes, that sort of thing quickly becomes talmudic interpretation of 'what is true oop' :)

Perhaps this is right - and I don't professionally taste wine, so your man should know better than I do - but from my own experience of sometimes drinking very good and very expensive wine, there really is a demonstrably worthwhile difference! My father, a lawyer, was once paid by a client with a case of good Château Margaux, including some excellent years ('82 and '85 in particular); we've drunk these together slowly over time, on special occasions for the most part, and they really have been phenomenal. I don't know what you could buy for $20 that would in any way compare with those bottles (which probably would sell for 20x that amount, if not more).

But, as they say in Latin, de gustibus non est disputandum. My mother and my wife detest the Margaux that my father and I enjoy so much - my mother charitably calling it "a man's wine" and my wife calling it... something much less charitable. But I think both of them would agree that it is certainly very different - in taste, colour, and bouquet, even if they can't actually enjoy those aspects of it - to what you could buy in a supermarket.
