It also has nothing to do with NCLB. Without NCLB, teachers were not helping gifted students anyway.

It is a stupid political thing to blame NCLB or common core. People always have tons of excuses for being lazy. Of course there are good teachers way beyond average, but most teachers are like average person need incentive to make them work harder, especially when they are protected by teacher tenure which does not exist in most fields.
Where are you located, and what are your qualifications? I'm NYC, Python/full stack. Email me!

I'd be interested in working on a project together (I have a recent "good idea" but it will need to be built ground-up). I don't have a lot of money, but I'd be fine with putting some capital down for hosting, domains, etc..

It would be very casual. No pay either way of course. Ownership is something to discuss.

For your first part, I feel everyone has that to some degree. You just have to do it. Email startups.
The results for more details was in and of itself a problem; The prosecutors were fishing for details on people whom were guilty only of hyperbole. "I would love to see you thrown off a roof" or "That prosecutor should be taken out and shot" are not threats, not even close. They are the very definition of political speech, in grandiose hyperbole. The chilling effects of prosecutors even asking for that information is very real, and very much undermines the cornerstones of american democracy. The gag order escalated it from prosecutorial overreach to something worthy of repeated headlines, but even the request was unwarranted and wrong.

No, it is an evolutionary strategy embedded in our genes: to deliver a baby woman is needed for at least 9 months, and man is needed for about 10-15 minutes (assuming it is just "quick one" :) ). Also, one man can impregnate many women in relatively short time. That's why for last few millions years men were considered disposable, went hunting or to war, and women stayed in a safe place.
I found this article to be worthless. I work in an open office that is fairly
noisy. Although we in this area are mostly separated from the call center
people (there is only one in this section, probably due to seniority), but
there are some developers who are frequently loud, horsing around with nerf
guns, etc. My Shure IEMs block all of this easily. People around me have
conversations about which headphones they should buy, I show them mine, and
then they come back and say they want something with noise-canceling but that
doesn't go in their ears. Sorry, you want water that isn't wet, and it can't
be helped. Scared about having your back to the unknown? Get over it; it's a
personal fear that is able to be corrected. I used to be overly
self-self-conscious, but no longer. The One way, which is what worked for me,
is to do absolutely nothing distracting while at work. Ant website I view for
more than a minute is work-related in some small way and I have no
reservations about doing that for as long as I want. Right now I'm typing
into a black screen that is not echoing anything that I type back to me, so
anyone passing by me is only going to see what appears to be me pretending to
type. Let them think that, it doesn't matter to me. A guy to my left just
views time-wasting websites all day, every day. He would be the first-fire if
I had any say in this, but I don't care about him. Back to the
headphones... All of these things that could be described as "earbuds" are
junk. They don't seal the ear canal, so you don't get sound isolation, then I
would assume if there was noise in the environment's, you would be forced to
crank up the volume to compensate. I am listening to classical music from a
streaming playlist that is running from an mpd server on my home computer
through my phone (unlimited data). There is no distraction, as I have pruned
this playlist of opera and . Lyrical music and hip-hop is good, but too much
of it and you get the tape loops in your mind that can be distracting.
The prices at the high end have been imploding faster than at the low end.

It points out, in the typical form of humor, that we're going to take a N wheels (the container spec in this case), try and shove them together, to get N+1 wheels. And this is relevant in a space with at least 4 competing standards (and one dominant one).

In the short term, what Docker uses with will matter more than the output of any such committee. In the long term, well, it depends on Docker-the-company's fate.
Ah zeno's paradox. When the SSD matches the HDD price, in 28.5 months, the HDD will have moved, and so on and so on. Although at some point they'll probably just make many many fewer HDDs so the price will stop moving much.

For any storage experts, will HDD still be preferable for long-term cold storage or are those even currently an unacceptable solution? Seems like cold storage might end up being more important over time. I guess AWS Glacier is <$1 per TB per month which is pretty cheap and can presumably even fall over time. I have no idea what the reliability of these services is though.
It might even be one of the best economic choice in YOUR country, considering how much money can be made with prostitution.

But I'm pretty sure that you'd have slight reservations if your wife or daughter chose this kind of job. Why? It'd make perfect economic sense.

On a technical level, it's possible, on a practical level it's not. You can't get 100% uptime due to the unforeseen problems that will hit once in a while.

If the downtime was anticipated it can always be averted. Even a Fortune 500 can expect some downtime over a period large enough.

Take Sony earlier this year. The US government itself the year before.

First it has to be an activation of an audio recording, isn't?

What audio recording has been activated?
How successful were the developers that got chewed out? :)
> they still haven't returned to the pre-flood trendline last I checked.

They have. I remember buying 2TB drives a year before (2010). I paid about $200 each. Last year (2014), I bought 4TB drives for $130 each. That's about 3x improvement over 4 years, right?
Any reason to go with the ER-4P over the hf5 or hf3 product line, if I'm not looking for studio mastering grade audio reproduction?

Put another way, judged purely on niose reduction is there much difference between the ER-4P and the rest of the Etymotic product line?
Would it be fair to say that the biggest challenge with the buy button is the lack of last mile fulfillment (like shipping, returns etc) from Google/FB/Pinterest. Amazon on the other does a job at this
The thing is with Pyramid IMO that you have to have some experience with Python (and its ecosystem) to be able to use it effectively. It's clealry much more flexible than either Django or Flask and has more advanced concepts and features (such as view predicates, declarative permission system, URL traverse, etc...) but you have to be able to use it.
The problem has to do with the temperature you write at and the temperature you store it at. If, for some reason, you're writing in a very cold environment and storing in a very hot one the lifespan is diminished. If it's the opposite, you're golden.
While memristors may eventually become an important part of a balanced electrical component diet, I'd say the hype has failed to pan out. Don't hold your breath. Even if it does eventually manifest, it's going to take longer than you can hold your breath.
What has to do physics with the claim that Android Chrome is always listening?
I didn't call anything flawed, fundamentally or otherwise; but I take your point.

I think that there is an important distinction between 'almost-there' solutions.

Suppose that you have a piece of code that is specified to work in a certain way. Because code, and the hardware on which it runs, is made (at least indirectly) by humans, it will fail under some conditions; it only satisfies its specification. I think that we are all comfortable with this kind of "works most of the time".

By contrast, consider 'smart' products—for example, the auto-complete on your phone. This also, after a bit of training, works most of the time, and can make some brilliant inferences. However, I think that most people can agree that the "most of the time" for auto-completion is qualitatively different from the "most of the time" for specified software: it is reasonable to rely on the latter, but not, or at least not nearly as much, on the former (http://www.damnyouautocorrect.com).
I've always been interested in this sort of thing - with webassembly standardizing, they may become realistically usable soon, too.

As noted in the parent comment, the Open Container Format will supersede appc. It will also adopt a lot of the ideas from appc, as noted in the CoreOS announcement [1].

Docker's new networking model is exactly what you describe. In fact it was developed with a lot of feedback from the Google team, so if you like Kubernete's networking model you'll be in known territory.

It's true that the Docker daemon by default bundles these functionalities by default. But under the hood, the networking system is actually a separate binary called "dnet", so it's going to be very easy to rip it out and make the daemon less monolithic.
What I am really interested is when SSDs will be cheap enough to be in common OEM systems.
With the tech we're talking about, there are definitely limits per inch. They'll be able to fit a petabyte in a 2.5" SSD drive case before the SSD sunsets, at a cost of $300. At that time, your 100tb SSD might be $50 to $75.

After SSD, what technology will take us to 100pb drives at $300? Is that even possible, while keeping the small size of the drive? No idea. It's going to require some amazing breakthroughs.
It's not that hard. Public Schools were designed in two phases, for two different reasons: 1. grade school. Get enough reading so as to be able to read The Bible, and get enough math so as not to let the city slickers cheat you when you get your cattle/pigs/grain to market. 2. High school. Get everyone ready to work in a factory. Arrive on time, move when and where you're scheduled to move. Take short breaks on command in boring environments, and don't talk back.

Public education is for flyover people on the farm, or people who will work in factories. Public schools aren't supposed to accommodate anyone at the "smart" end of the scale, and they're supposed to shuck off any one lying at the "dumb" end of the scale. You can verify this by looking at the curriculum for contentious subjects ("social studies", and biology), which is exceptionally weak, and emphasizes Andrew Jackson and ignores evolution.

Yes, I'm bitter.
> we can bury garbage in old landfill sites.

How's that going to work? Landfills don't decompose. In fact many of them are treated not to, since people don't like the smell and they don't want toxic stuff getting in to the water table.

Landfills literally just sit there. Forever.
"In fairness to Micron/Crucial, the drives did not lose any data.... but the write bandwidth degraded down to 10MB/s which counts as a failure for most apps. That's the catch in the report you cite: the bandwidth of a used-up drive is so poor that it's hard to actually write enough extra data to fully-fail."

You call that a catch? I would sell it as a feature. It's way better than "looks OK until t minus 1, can't read or write from time t onwards" or lesser variants of the "try reading everything a few times, and you may get 90% of your data back"
I think it has as much to do with a corporate shift away from pensions and other considerations for long-term employees. For my entire professional career I've been warned that there is no one else looking out for me but me. There will be no pension when I retire, and no social security, I'm told. So I have to maximize what I earn and what I save now in order to survive later.

Is it any wonder then that my generation has absolutely no sense of loyalty to their employer and show a pathological willingness to jump at almost anything that pays more or has better growth potential?

What benefit is there to an employee that would encourage them to stay with one employer? (To be fair...I've been with my employer for about 10 years, so YMMV.)
This is what I've done in the past: pick a few keywords describing ideas and/or what my project is about. I then use a reverse dictionary like onelook [1] to find other related words that I can string together into an easy to pronounce, compact and catchy name. It's more of an art than science but tools like reverse dictionaries help a lot.

We have implemented user namespace support in runC, which we announced today :) https://runc.io

Integration of user namespaces into the developer-facing tools is ongoing, but there is an design discussion to finish on how to best handling uid mapping without breaking shared volumes.

TLDR: if you want to customize your docker install to support user namespaces today, you should try runC.
It all really depends on the SSD curve. If SSDs continue their price decline and capacity increases as this article mentions, it'd be difficult for HDDs to compete. Tape costs you no power in storage, but HDDs do unless you're powering them down and spinning them back up (which causes significant wear on the motor). SSDs get you cheap storage and lower power consumption, negating both tape and HDDs simultaneously.

TL;DR SSD advancement set to deprecate HDDs and tape in near future.
Hi Karthik,

Having started a similar thing in the valley (http://InterviewKickstart.com), I can share my experience.

0. Who are you? Why should I prep with you? How are you better at interviewing than I am? What is your success? A candidate needs to know answers to these questions. There should be your profile up there.

1. Interviewing is as much about coding skills, as it is about the grading standard of the interviewer and the company. i.e. mock interviews with a variety of people are imperative to truly get results. And mock interviews only help when they are with experienced interviewers. Experienced interviewers don't come cheap, if at all they come.

2. There are many excellent online resources for interview prep (GeeksforGeeks, InterviewCake, interviewbit, leetcode etc). Saurabhschool even has tons of free videos online. This space is rapidly getting commoditized.

3. Because of intensive people expenses, it's impossible to sustain a fulltime business at $199/person for 3 months, even if you're in India. At best, you'd make as much in salary as you'd make working anywhere else. It can work as a side business, but then it won't have your full attention. It's easy to do a job part-time, but hard to do a business part-time.

HTH
A million dollar Roomba, but yeah.

More interesting is to compare the stakes. On a farm, you have a worst case of ruined farm land and equipment. On the road there are human lives.
From what I can tell, systemd's interface is not a container spec, but a way for Docker et all to launch systemd inside their own containers.

And LXC doesn't define a container format either, it's more of a lower-level API, which is why Docker itself can use it to run their own containers.
FWIW we add a lot of new features, but we break very few APIs. API stability is extremely important to us, so you can actually build stable things on Docker and trust that we won't break it down the road.
I'm not sure why employers must prove the relevance of IQ tests but not work sample tests, given that the former are better predictors of job success (Hunter & Schmidt 1998).
I think their new refund policy will also help a lot. Being able to try a game to see if it works, and get your money back hassle-free if it doesn't, ought to take a lot of the anxiety out of the fragmented-target-OS issue.
Yup, pretty much. The only bit of news is that SSDs can achieve hard drive densities with 3D NAND, but like the early calls for the demise of all lighting other than LED. That was 10 years ago, its getting closer now. I'm putting in LED can lights in my living room for example. So at some point ...
Yeah that's the big question eh? The obviously "best" solution is integrating with Amazon and calling it a day. But they can't do that, since Amazon's a competitor. It's almost as if they need a Shadow Amazon that isn't competing with them. Then they could integrate all properly.

Shopping on 3rd party sites is so horrible. "Oh, wow, free ground shipping... great." And I get to confirm my CC info once more for kicks. And worry they aren't gonna go out of their way to make my one-off $9 purchase right if anything goes wrong. I often pay 2x more to buy something on Amazon than deal with other vendors.
So what if they have to be brought up once in a while? Who cares? They use so little power, that's really not an issue to bring the drive online, even frequently.
On the progress page (http://www.megaprocessor.com/progress.html) he does a test of an adder and estimates the end speed will be a bit less than 25kHz.
Yeah, personal projects could be sloppy, as it's mostly for learning new technology. And it may also be unfair to say that a good programmer always produce clean code, no matter the reason for development.

But still, there must be one project that the candidate considers his best work, one he/she is proud of, one where he/she has motivation to do best. If the employer can just ask the candidate for that project, and the candidate can show that project in a public or private repository, this would give really important insights to the employer about the candidate which would be beneficial for that both.

Also, this doesn't mean that the candidates who doesn't have public repository to show have any disadvantage, they are at the same point. Its just that the candidate who is able to provide a project of his choice through public repository would be a few points ahead other candidates.
To allow all of the involved parties to save face? In this case, no one is acquiescing to anyone else, and AppC can get presented as a great Coming Together by the tech press. Everyone wins.
That is correct, however, I didn't suggest that the the entire public health problem of hearing loss is only a false perception that is result of wide-spread overdiagnosis, which was the bulk of your counter-argument to my post. (If that were the case, what use would there be in getting a second opinion?)

I wouldn't jump to any hasty conclusions based on being tested once, with one audiologist's piece of equipment. How do you know it didn't have a calibration problem or other malfunction. Bad gain in some analog circuit or whatever, and the measurement is decibels off.

Also, I'd have my ear canals cleaned thoroughly, and stay away from loud noise for a couple of days before the test, and any foods or medications that can affect hearing. If you're on antibiotics for something, don't book a hearing test. You want your real hearing tested.

(I was on ciprofloxacin recently, and things didn't sound right until a day after the last pill. My Sennheiser phones sounded like $5 dollar store earbuds, and I couldn't get a decent tone out of my guitar amplifier rig, though I played with the 32 band equalizer and other controls endlessly.)
> if a business invests $20k in training and $80k in salary, there is nothing stopping another employer from offering $90k in salary after training is complete.

Then that business will have to pay better.

You want me to stick around? Fuck you, pay me[1] (or give me some other reason that is compelling--to me, not to you--to stay).

Reviews, free or fast shipping, and return policy are table stakes for ecommerce these days. If you don't have all of that you're doing it wrong. The buy button will conceivably offer that as well as (obviously) one-click purchases- making it a viable competitor to Amazon.
> Relative to the other kind of function that is written like function (x) { return x * 2 }, arrow functions don't define this or arguments in their bodies, instead capturing these values from the environment.

In the case of `this`, I can see why they did that: it is the right semantics and all of JavaScript should be this way. But I really think creating two different behaviors for what should all just be syntactic sugar around the same, ol' function values is long-term going to reveal itself as a mistake.

But that's just `this`. I can't for the life of me imagine why they also did this for `arguments`.
Thanks for your questions, and taking the time to read and think about consciousness.io - I really appreciate it!

Just because there is no "bad" I don't think "perfect" is a pointless concept - but perhaps it is not the best word to use here. Maybe "holy" is better, or something like this. Someone else mentioned that they don't like this word, so I appreciate the feedback and may try to change it to something more appropriate.

Yes, I expect the questions about "bad" things (e.g. mass genocide, etc) - how can they be "perfect" when they appear so bad? And how do you know what to do if everything is perfect? These are good questions and I'm sure my answer will be unsatisfactory, but I hope it at least leads to some thought and consideration about it.

One way I can attempt to answer is that I and other people I know have been through "bad" things - things that I never would have wanted before they happened. Even though it was difficult, it was an opportunity for a lot of growth and insight. And in this way it wasn't "bad," and in fact they turned out to be some of the best things that happened to me.
Keen iOS 9 Jailbreak for iOS 9 Cydia Install
Hmm, interesting.

I'm unclear what value this adds in the end

Yes container images would become portable between systems, but if you hide the underlying system enough under abstraction layers what makes me choose between CoreOS or Docker or the future thing? What's the value difference?

Containers are useful if you have the build systems in source control, but if you don't, you don't know how to rebuild them or what is in them - they become dangerous in that case. They become scary "golden images".

Docker files were already very easy to regenerate things -- and I think interface wise, one of the more compelling wins. If there were other systems it's still likely they would have different provisioners.

It seems the (excuse me for the buzzword) value add then quickly becomes in the people providing management software for Docker, rather than in Docker, and Docker becomes more or less a subcommitee of a standards body.

I'm sure that's NOT true, but it's confusing why they wouldn't want to seek differentiation to me and what this means for valuation purposes.
I assumed duaneb was referring to the whole idea of giving parameters to the class definition.
