Another advantage that's not immediately apparent is that it would also open up changing the rendering engine. I think the firefox mobile browser is actually using this to do the main UI on android at least. Along with that there's the browser.html that Servo is using as a base for the browser chrome.

What extensive welfare programs would that be? The 12 months of unemployment insurance? They don't even have a means-tested program to ensure a subsistence minimum for people younger than 45 years!

Errr, how about Thomas Jefferson in 1789, after the Revolutionary War just to be clear? From Wikiquote:

God forbid we should ever be twenty years without such a rebellion. The people cannot be all, and always, well informed. The part which is wrong will be discontented, in proportion to the importance of the facts they misconceive. If they remain quiet under such misconceptions, it is lethargy, the forerunner of death to the public liberty. … What country before ever existed a century and half without a rebellion? And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants. It is its natural manure.

But he was most certainly a firebrand, and you do have a point about motivations for our current Constitution if this book is to be believed: http://www.upenn.edu/pennpress/book/13777.html (it's new (2003) and sounds revisionist, but that doesn't mean it's incorrect, just that as with anything historically political like it it has to be checked, see e.g. Arming America).

That's a fair point - although I think a lot of institutional investors (LPs) are pushing back on management fees both in the hedge fund and private equity arenas.

I think a fundamental alignment of incentives - putting your money where your mouth is - can be very powerful. This demands a flight to quality where only the best managers survive and investors know what they are "paying for."
They want big numbers for their PR value. Change.org is the best-known "cause" petition platform, so more people will be familiar with it.
Container for Docker Containers
Google Announces Classroom API
This announcement narrows down the proximate cause of the bug to changes introduced in the 1.0.1 line.

Assuming this is a defect in a new feature (rather than a bugfix which went awry) that means there's a fairly limited number of culprits: SCTP, DTLS-SRTP, NPN, RSA-PSS, TLS v1.1, TLS v1.2 or SRP.

FWIW, I'll take SRP for 300.

"Hiking boots" has the same problem -- the boots aren't themselves hiking, they're boots for use in hiking. That's another noun-noun compound.

"Mixed-breed puppy" is, to me, not such a clear case ("breed" is clearly originally a noun, but maybe this use is common enough to have converted). But you don't need to use spurious examples -- in another comment, you provided a very genuine one: "red" and "wooden" are both clearly adjectives, and their ordering cannot vary. This is a well-known example of a somewhat-but-not-entirely mysterious phenomenon in linguistics.

Here's a nice recent writeup of what I think is a related phenomenon: https://stancarey.wordpress.com/2015/04/28/cutthroat-compoun... . This one consists of the observation that words like "kickass" and "pickpocket" are suppressed (not illegal, but suppressed) in English because they conflict with our tendency toward right-headedness (that is, in any English compound, the "essence" of the compound should be found at the right end). Instead, we incline more to compounds like "bank robber" or "nose-thumbing" ("engage in a bit of nose-thumbing"). Someone else in this thread already mentioned that they see adjective ordering as a question of which adjectives are more essential to the whole.

My problem with your comments here is that you're making arguments based on obviously spurious tests unrelated to the claims you then try to follow (um, lead) with. It's analogous to saying "We need to stop celebrating Thanksgiving by eating turkey. Turkey perpetrated the Armenian genocide, genocide is bad and should be stopped, QED". Stick to honest examples, and you'll find the problems you're talking about are rather muted. Don't let your feeling that the problems are large, and you therefore need extremely malformed examples, lead you into choosing examples that are extremely malformed because they exhibit a completely different problem.

Hi Billy - thanks for the question. We'll review your landing page and make sure it's personalized to get the most conversions. If someone is coming in from Google or another paid search campaign, we'll make sure your landing page specifically mentions their search keyword so that the visitor knows you can solve their problem. This is really important, and most landing pages are missing this. (This also helps you rank higher in Google.)

We can also personalize your page based on geolocation. For example, you can show different products or offers if a visitor is located in San Francisco vs Toronto.

Another example is if a user is visitor on a mobile device, you'll want to show a phone number at the top of the landing page so they can easily call you.

Hope that helps - thanks!
I love this! I've been meaning to make something like this myself for a project; now I won't have to.

I have to point out some flaws, though; for example the side menu here[1] has very low text contrast once you hove over them.

Magic has been very influential even to this day. It totally changed the "game" of games with its innovative business model. I learned a few weeks ago that Richard Garfield initially created Magic just so he could fund publishing his "real" game RoboRally which I find hilarious.

I know of at least one other Chicago startup (no affiliation) that's been doing this exact thing for a year or two. I'll refrain from name dropping them in OP's announcement thread, but I did notice that any mentions of Yelp fell off their site a while back which leads me to believe Yelp may have come knocking.
Well, the same applies to the gun used (no causation, only correlation) and yet people and the media keep bringing guns up as if the correlation between 'using guns'<->'shooter kids' is stronger than 'using SSRIs'<->'shooter kids'.

The psychiatrist you mentioned surely believes the same of guns, that guns can't possibly "give you enough energy to be violent". Because mostly they don't.

I do. It's a pretty big extravegence, but the train costs 2-3bucks and takes 25-40 min and uber costs 9 for 15 minutes if I wait past the worse of rush hour.

I can expense the way home if I work late enough.

It's cheaper than driving since I'd have to pay 320 a month for a parking space at work.

I probably should just take the train more.
This isn't a serious solution except for intranets--and this problem exists most pressingly on the internet to begin with.
Some of this is natural:

If you spend a lot of time with decent people, its going to happen that you form "bonds". Just take a look at this http://www.nytimes.com/2015/04/19/fashion/anger-management-w...

Under NO circumstances can you act on this, not now not when it is over between them. To be frank, you don't want to be involved with the person who is going to cut and run (her) and you don't want to be breaking up that relationship.

What is more alarming is how you are building a business with a couple. Is everything a three way split? Are you 50/50 with one of them and the other works there. There are so many ways this could turn toxic, you need to have a good long think about "how can this end badly" just from a business perspective.
Of course it will be cheaper. Because the alternative to an STD in this argument is an STD and a baby. (Who may or may not be born with the STD.)
Fair, and we can disagree. I'll say that I'm not a fan of urging people to die in fires.

However, it's noteworthy that her review made several clear statements, some opinion and some fact, in her own name. She didn't resort to ad hominem attacks, nor doxxing, nor swatting. And evidently 370 of 1218 people found it useful in some way.

Also noteworthy that Stop the Goodread Bullies isn't a balanced, objective news source. Their coverage makes clear that SJW is a pejorative term that equates to bullying[1]; that they're happy to damn with innuendo rather than fact[2] and they're seemingly okay with pulling quotes out of context[3]. The only mention of Vox Day, who has participated in the same bullying review activity[4], is in the article you shared. Ergo, I'd tend to say they're not unbiased.

Still, they're not aking lewd suggestions or threatening peoples' lives, so I'm glad they're out there working to represent their opinions directly.

Honestly, the much bigger issue was that they didn't tell anyone she was let go!

The /r/iama mods only found out because one of the people who had an AMA scheduled that day sent them modmail saying something to the effect of "Victoria told me they let her go, so what's gonna happen to my AMA?".

That's a shitty way for the mod team to find out that the main person who handled their scheduling and coördination was let go.

> the secret weapon of the powerless

It is. I've had a few managers where everything we all tried to change change were fruitless. The only solution was to either antagonize until things got out of hand, or to ignore.

> I like to confront, discuss and get things improved

That's a good initial starting point. But I've also learned that there comes a time when expending any more of my own energy fighting such people is no longer worth it.

> incompetent managers

In my cases, it wasn't incompetence but rather character. You can have rational discourse with incompetent people. You can show them why they're wrong. You can't have a reasonable discussion with someone who's own mind jumps from high-priority to high-priority, wanting everything yesteryear but isn't willing to put in the actual resources to get things done.

I've dealt with too many managers like that to expend much energy on it anymore. Mind you, ignoring them should be a last resort, but given enough experience with such managers, you learn to quickly know when you're dealing with one.

I'd much rather spend my time making customers happy.

Not exactly : that employee was the sole line of communication for the most popular part of the site.

The firing by it self would have had some people grumbling a bit, but it wouldn't have become the newsworthy shitstorm it became.

The problem was that the moderators weren't warned and were left without any other means of dealing with the needs of the many events planned and happening.

They were already asking for years to have better tools and better ways to communicate with the admins.

So in the end, the firing was only the straw that broke the camel's back, not because of a beloved and dedicated employee, but because of a lack of respect and concern that became more than insulting.

Four House Rules for Hackathons
I find it incredibly ironic that you're espousing these types of arguments in a thread dedicated to black-hat programs used by developing world States.

To anyone without sufficient knowledge, such tools would lend an air of almost magical ability to the reputation of organizations who already rely on fear, persecution, physical & emotional violence and so on.

The irony being that many of the tools of the trade can be used to break the will of those deemed non-acceptable. I'd suggest you look up "gas lighting".

We should be very careful about labeling selfish people as sociopaths. It's easier to believe that there are incurable monsters among us, because this lets us be self-righteous in containing and punishing them.

IMHO simply realizing that there is a scale of selfishness that extends way beyond where you think the limits are is more predictive and actionable.
Derek Smart certainly has his own history but his remarks are spot on. Scope creep went out of control fairly early on, I backed this game expecting a spiritual sequel to Freelancer which I felt was a realistic goal. At the time, I was not aware of Robert's history of being removed from the Freelancer project due to delays. However, even in the case of Freelancer I was sold on Freelancer due to some of Robert's promises and quite surprised when the released version was missing many of the promised features. CIG wanting to build and rent out their own motion capture studio to third parties and selling ships for exorbitant pricing left a bad taste in my mouth early on. I will be happy if Star Citizen ends up being a modern Freelancer but I fear many will be sorely disappointed.

My story is boring (which is why I want to hear yours). Something changed when I witnessed the boom of online advertising in the early 2000's. I was around 13 at the time, and had been hosting several Counter-Strike servers for my friends (and myself). Around the same time, I had been [unsuccessfully] trying to make money online (surveys, a few ponzi schemes). Eventually I learned about SEO and Adsense...within a few weeks I had a website up about managing video game servers (received ~15,000 unique visitors/month at its peak). Walked away that summer with a little over $5,000 and I've had a different mindset ever since.

I'm not convinced the fact one label "challenges" the other should change how you attack the problem. I think you have to be able to apply the same reasoning to the following problem:

James says he is shorter than Alex.
Jane says she is shorter than James.
Alex says he is taller than James.
Can you figure out who is the shortest?

Going by the authors premise that only things in the puzzle statement can be taken to be truthful, you can't figure out who is the shortest because they could all be lying. It's formulated exactly the same as the problem in the post, it just doesn't have a potential contradiction to lead you down the path to realising you're not meant to be assuming the logical statements are involved in the solution.
A sovereign nation do not have to get the money from anywhere, unless one is stuck in thinking in terms of commodity money.
I agree, I have also already read several posts (rants) from Derek Smart in the past but never played any of his games. But I must say I have some doubts too about Star Citizen. I'm bulding websites myself and already do this for several years ;) and if a customer or the project leader changes the scope and the amount of features during the development all the time, then it's likely that the project won't be good. I had to learn too, that it's better to start small and then add features over time after the initial release.

So even if Derek's way of saying things is rude, he might be right this time. I hope Chris Roberts will show us that Derek Smart was wrong, because I wan't to play the complete Star Citizen and enjoy all the announced features, but I have more and more doubts because of what happend since the game development started.

Oh btw here is a link to his personal blog where he explains why he wrote this article http://dereksmart3000ad.tumblr.com/post/123125564079/interst...
Wow! Derek has been entertaining me online for nearly thirty years now and instead of that realization making me feel old, it actually makes me feel kind of young.
The parts without the words "I" or "me" sprinkled all over them made it an insightful article from someone who's opinion is based on substantial knowledge of this subject. Good or bad.

I don't buy the "poisoned well" argument, or see how this is a "negative wasted opportunity for discussion." We are adults and should be able to have a rational conversation on important matters even if the initial statements are not in sync with our own views, instead of dismissing it out of hand and characterizing it with boogeyman words, "xenophobia," "xenophobic," literally describing it as fully on one side of the good/bad dichotomy in the christian belief system.

"Dang pointed out that it wasn't."

Yes, on the content of his reply it appeared people were missing the main point, how this is clearly tied to people wanting to defend their nation and economy(nationalism,) because it was necessary to touch on some of the obscene aspects of what is occurring to make the point.
