I'm really surprised that no one has mentioned Bittorrent Sync as a Dropbox competitor. We all have several TB's of extra storage lying around between our work computer, laptop, home machine, phones, etc. Why not sync stuff directly between all of your machines and skip the cloud middleman (and the chance that all your files are belong to someone else)? Remember that day or two when anyone could log in to someone else's Dropbox account?
If you read her dissent, it's hard to characterize as "extreme". Slightly arcane, perhaps, and disagreeing on a fine point of the definition of a per se taking, but not extreme at all and seemingly something that reasonable (and presumably well-informed-enough to be debating that technical definition) people could disagree on.

Meanwhile the case itself is being severely misrepresented in media coverage.

The raisin program, as it had been run, basically had three steps:

1. A committee made up of farmers and others in the raisin business decide on a percentage of that year's crop to set aside.

2. Farmers set aside that percentage of their crop, and pass it to the committee.

3. Any profit left after administrative fees from the sale of those raisins is distributed to the farmers.

The big question was not whether the government lacks the power to run this kind of program, but whether this program is the government taking private property for public use, and (if it is) whether the payment for taking the property has to occur up-front.

The eight Justices in the majority agreed it was taking of private property for public use (Sotomayor disagreed on a technical aspect of the definition, hence her dissent). But those eight did not agree entirely on whether the government would have to pay up-front; five of them said yes, three others said no and that it should go back to a lower court to determine if the raisin growers were entitled to compensation (since the program was meant to, and apparently succeeded at, keeping raising prices higher -- in which case they might not be entitled to any further cash payment).
Just like the infamous Smathers campaign speech?

Not really, unless you mean that in some really broad sense. I think that when US foreign policy fails it is usually because it is driven more by domestic politics than foreign realities.
Try introducing short breaks every hour or so. 5 minutes, perhaps 10 every other time.

When doing so, walk around a bit. It is important to physically separate yourself from the work area. I recommend going outside and taking your mind off of whatever task(s) you are immersed in solving. Doing so with a coworker you get along with often adds to the benefit.

It looks like they built a tube car chassis[1] using carbon fiber tubes and 3D printed metal connectors, then put a stock powertrain in it and a body around it. The powertrain is conventional, a 4 cylinder engine running on natural gas. The site has pictures of assembling the frame parts and of the finished car exterior, but does not show the car in motion or the powertrain.

The connectors are kind of strange for carbon fiber tubes. The video shows them just slipping the tubes into the larger tubular connectors. They don't show how they attach them. That's just a test assembly. Now they have to glue it all together somehow, which is a touchy operation for carbon fiber to metal bonds. BMW avoids those in their carbon-fiber car.

Building tube cars in a small shop is quite practical, and lots of racers do it. It's not cheaper than mass-produced cars.

Public companies have already rethought this. They give equity compensation in RSUs (i.e. options with a strike price of 0), rather than options with a strike price at the current valuation.

With RSUs, you are rewarded for meeting high expectations. With options, you are only rewarded if you dramatically beat already very high expectations.

A while ago I remember hearing in some podcast from googler that they internally have separate source code management system (not related to Google Code). I wouldn't be surprised it he was talking about this one and they finally decided to make it public. Killing Google Code was probably just because not many people used it (externally or internally).
One of the more remarkable facts about life on Earth is that the Moon and the Sun are the same size in the sky. This is astronomically unlikely. Our moon had to be enormous for this to work out.

I also find it rather strangely fortuitous that our year is about 360 days, which makes the math for the calculating how much the night sky changes every night particularly easy. There is no reason for this to be the case.

Just a riff: gravity is really the force that gives rise to life, since it's the force that compresses matter into light-emitting masses we call stars. It's also in those infernos that the heavier elements were formed in previous generations of stars, such that they could accrete into a planet, and then (eventually) get arranged into a physical system, and power that system, such that it could express it's own arising with a pattern of controlled motion it might call "typing".

> disagreeing on a fine point of the definition of a per se taking

While I agree some of her dissent is indeed technical and should not be considered extreme, there are certainly some extreme elements. To wit, from her dissent,

"...insofar as the Hornes wish to sell some raisins in a market regulated by the Government and at a price supported by governmental intervention, the Order requires that they give up the right to sell a portion of those raisins at that price and instead accept disposal of them at a lower price."

I think most reasonable people would not consider that to be ordinary government regulation; forcing farmers to sell at a particular if they wish to participate in the "free" market in fact sounds like certain horror stories you hear about socialist regimes (note: I am not imparting any judgement on President Obama here w.r.t. socialism).

I'm a bit skeptical. I've been through different companies with both strategies, and the 'goal setting' is a lesser evil than once-per-year but its hardly a reason for staying. All formal review processes are just time sinks.

A Chip That Mimics Human Organs Is the Design of the Year

Economically, if the program exists, the only sensible thing is for it to be mandatory. Otherwise you run into a situation where it's possible for some farmers to get the benefit of the program (higher prices for their crop) without paying for the program (by setting aside some of their crop) and the whole thing collapses.

Also, programs of this nature are old enough that it's really difficult to try to put current interpretations of labels like "socialist" on them; many of the people involved in originally drafting, passing and implementing this stuff would've been, by modern standards, too conservative even for the Tea Party.

(though there is a useful more-recent term to apply here: since the New Deal, farmers and ranchers have essentially been the biggest welfare queens in the United States, to the tune of billions upon billions of dollars in subsidies, tax breaks, favorable land/water rates and government-run price-fixing programs, and generally the anti-"socialism" forces in our government have no problem with requiring welfare recipients to make sacrifices in return for the benefits, so why not be consistent about it?)
In 2008, what happened to me was instant vesting and something like an 8:1 exchange for the acquiring (public) company's stock. It wound up paying out very little, just about equalizing on a low-end salary for the year and a half I was there (acquisition at 1yr). I was employee ~#5 out of 9 or so.

The only thing that I really agree with in that is that context matters :) My view on the matter is pretty simple, if you know how much data you are going to handle, before your first malloc, and the dimensionality is low, arrays win from the perspective of both processing speed and low memory usage. Otherwise (a lot of cases fall into otherwise) use linked lists - for your listing needs. BTW, a linked list of arrays is a pretty nice way of getting around the realloc problem. Sorting arrays across the linked list is not very nice though...

If it weren't for pointer overhead I'd just throw everything into a graph, but 64-bit addressing makes that expensive.

Apple was big, rich and famous, because of the Apple II. So little Microsoft became the Mac's biggest backer and biggest supplier of software, and Bill Gates was featured at the Mac launch.

Excel and the graphical version of Word were written for the Mac, and PowerPoint -- a Mac program -- was bought in to make the first Microsoft Office suite, which was launched on the Mac.

Gates also offered to help Apple license Mac OS widely to make it an industry standard.

Apple didn't see the point of selling $100 software when it could sell $2,500-$3,500 computers.

That world started to change after 1990, when Windows 3 began to take off.

4) Doesn't come off as a security asshole.

Most companies realize they should have security at this point. Getting there is another matter. Delivering the culture and attracting the right hires from a incredibly finite talent pool is the difference in the ability to execute.

I agree, existence must imply the program being mandatory, for exactly the reasons you describe. But perhaps the fact that the justices nearly-unanimously agreed on its unconstitionality means it should not have existed? You have to argue the legality of the program on the merits, not on the basis of "well, if we didn't violate the constitution, the program would not work".

And yeah, I am not trying to pass judgement using the label of socialism, I am trying to draw parallels to what people often decry as one of the evils of socialist states. I understand that these programs were not created in such a context; I certainly do not care about party affiliations or political leanings, only the direct, observable outcomes of the program.
They talk about impact for other government seizure powers- could this have an effect on that awful Civil Forfeiture practise?

For a recent project I did:

cabal init
stack init
stack build

Then I wanted a newer version of persistent, so I opened up my stack.yaml file and added persistent 2.2 to the extra-deps section:

extra-deps:
- persistent-2.2

Then I was wondering how to make emacs haskell-mode work with it, and I saw this[0] in the stack repo:

((haskell-mode . ((haskell-indent-spaces . 4)
(hindent-style . "johan-tibell")
(haskell-process-type . ghci)
(haskell-process-path-ghci . "stack")
(haskell-process-args-ghci . ("ghci")))))

Now everything is working flawlessly and very fast. As a bonus Haskell-mode works correctly for projects I haven't moved to/tested with stack yet.

I think it's hard to view in terms of timelessly constitutional or not; the Court's favored interpretations of bits of the Constitution have shifted back and forth widely since the Supreme Court was established.

So I suspect the strongest possible statement is that this is a program most people accepted as constitutional without much controversy at the time of the New Deal, but since then the Court's interpretation (and the political climate in the country, of which the Court is for better or worse a reflection) has shifted.
Hopefully yearly goal setting and then regular checkups will help reduce the amount of deadwood they accumulate. I believe that most people have great potential if properly motivated. A few years of growth associated with being thoughtfully mentored might not be enough to bring deadwood back to life, but it could save a lot of employees from heading down that path.

Also, having regular checkins makes it a lot more obvious when someone isn't performing, which means the deadwood is more likely to be let go.

I realize this is overly optimistic, due to faults in the managers themselves. For example, kingdom builders will keep deadwood since it increases their headcount.

The yearly performance reviews at a previous job were a waste of time. I'd be interested to hear if anyone has had good experiences with them either as a manager or as an employee.
