I've heard that unwanted pregnancies are more frequent in the "wait till married" crowd. That is because they are unlikely to have condoms with them when their emotions overwhelm them. They don't account for their changed decision making process when aroused. (Source: Dan Ariely's Irrationality MOOC).

Improve Your Docker Workflow with Summon
Athletics tends to support arrested development. I have a hard time regarding a college baseball player, even one who almost certainly is taller than I am and packs a lot more lean mass, as a "grown man." I do hope that the athletic director at his school had a long talk with him that will make him think a long time before doing anything remotely like this again.
Unless the increase in efficiency cause demand to grow faster.

This is known as the Jevons paradox.
>The distribution model was the genius of shareware at the time. In the days before the Internet and websites, physical distribution of the bits was a significant challenge. Shareware got the users doing the distribution work for the creator. Take this free version and copy and share it as much as you like.

That concept seemed to make better sense if you had people who were just handing disks around to friends. At that point the share part was clearer.

What was always really annoying though was back in the late 80s/early 90s there were companies that basically existed just to duplicate floppies with shareware on them and sell them in stores.

I remember going to a computer store and seeing a couple racks of floppies with games or home software for $10 or so. If you weren't familiar with the shareware concept you'd assume you got a great deal -- only to take it home and discover you paid money for a disk with a single piece of shareware on it, not a full license to the software.

At least later on when companies started selling CD-ROM compilations with 600MB worth of shareware, it was more clear you were buying something to save you the trouble of downloading all that from a BBS, not buying a single piece of software.
That's an interesting question, since Syn only uses dirty writes (and hence has no locking mechanism). Therefore yes, I think this is due to the increased nodes inter-communication (which obviously takes resources).
AdFly is a competitor, but it is oriented toward publishers and advertisers. Everyday people who share content can still use the service, but they will have a difficult time clearing the $5 minimum payout amount.
But its so hard! :) my strategy is to have many 3-9 side projects on at any one time, each is really just practice and I judge the concepts based on how often revisit them.
If you really care deeply about all those things then do nothing until your startup has succeeded or failed of it own accord.

Business is business, and that should be your primary concern at this point. A startup can have an interesting dynamic, with very close working relationships, stress, etc... It can cause people to rely on each other in ways they wouldn't normally have to do and thus produce feelings that aren't necessarily mature.

There's really no "good" way to deal with it. The best way would be handled it after the business is up and going, but it is still likely not be be a good resolution. Someone will be hurt.

Then there's the quite unlikely event that everyone is sufficiently open-minded and a nice polygamous relationship will develop..... this would be the most unlikely option.
The 2007-2013 numbers for 'All' show about 40% drop, but: it's a longer period (than 2009-2013), and there's a very sharp decline between 2007 and 2009, which would make the national numbers worse when compared to the same period.
Thanks.

I doesn't, I don't think I know how to handle them right now. The number of possible formats for locations that people use is already huge. Trying to figure how to split them may be hard to solve.
" You may also say the roots of homelessness lie in liberal values."

LOL - no. Liberal values include state housing which is proven time and time again to end mass homelessness at a smaller cost than the law enforcement, judicial and social cost of managing homeless populations. Liberal values strongly support taking from the rich to support the poor, including the mentally ill and homeless. You do not see many liberal values at play here.

Conservative values of "everyone must work, no work means you get no pay, no pay means you have no home" is the core cause of modern homelessness.

Not everyone in our society will or can work, and those who don't are lucky enough to be supported privately or publically or they're eventually homeless. This is the reality of a conservative value system.

Also, it's not just mental illness, homeless and mental illness are not synonyms. Many people are homeless, living in cars, couch surfing, and are not mentally ill requiring institutionalization.

Mexico has FAR stricter gun laws btw.

Mexico has exactly one legal gun store for the entire civilian population. Ownership of guns in "military" calibers (previously adapted by a country's military) are illegal, once reason .38 Super was developed for the M1911. The whole country probably makes NYC look like a legal gun-owners' paradise (less than 60,000 each for handgun and long gun ownership permits for 8 million residents).
Regarding #1, check out Anchor - https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Security/Projects/Anchor - an ephemeral PKI system coming out of the OpenStack community.

In brief, it attempts to address weaknesses in PKI operations and specifically revocation capabilities by allowing issuance of short-lived certificates based on a set of validation rules. The README has some detail about the tool, http://git.openstack.org/cgit/stackforge/anchor/tree/README.....

My word this is fast!

My use case is probably not the one you intended it for, but I've pointed it (the beta) at my folders of contracts and spreadsheets to see if it can replace finder/QuickLook. So far, I'm just thrilled I can QuickLook two files side by side!

I don't really understand what dragging a folder in does though. Does that set it up as some permanent link?

What is "Staging"?

Is there any way I can get a view of a folder as a list, so I can choose which files to compare? My files generally have very long names, so these always appear truncated when in icon view.

Very good work. Will keep up with the beta for a few days's real work then buy if it remains useful. $29.99 is above impulse purchase value for me, but I certainly want to support you as an independent developer.

I think it's pretty clear that this won't be their last effort in this area. In this case, you can take the very-close-proximity efforts by them - self driving cars - that they are taking very seriously, and extend that expectation here.

Does it really make sense that Google would build self-driving cars without also thinking about ride sharing technology and userbase? I think the primary use case of Google's cars will be optimal ride sharing, doesn't everyone think this as well?

Sure, their MO is to try things out and ditch the ones that don't work - and this one may not work. But if it doesn't, I'd bet that they'd try again. There's a perfect fit between self-driving technology and ride sharing (hence Uber's interest in self-driving cars).
At most you could say that fasting is not obviously harmful, because if it was, at some point someone would have noticed that all the fasting people get sick or die or whatever.

But it's a far jump from there to "very likely to be of use." The body is adapted to withstand all sorts of cultural practices that we no longer think are particularly medically useful, like haircuts, shaving, piercings, circumcision, branding, tattoos, foot binding, neck lengthening, bleeding (leeching), etc.
> Isn't that the points of automation, though? [...] even to do the tasks faster than humanly possible

Yes, but not beyond the point where you get rid of the failsafes.

People in the engineering industry understand that. They design skyscrapers within safety ranges and test their resistance on prototype models; and build planes and spaceships that can be operated without relying on the automated enhancements, and put procedures in place to check every combination that could possibly go wrong before every trip. And when an unpredictable combination of happenstances do occur and cause an accident, they redesign the failed processes and add a few new checks.

Software developers in general haven't yet learned that discipline (not industry wide), as for most of our creations a complete stop is not life-threatening. I'm afraid they will be forced to adopt such practices when the first fully automated agents (likely, autonomous cars) start running into mishaps because of preventable misbehaviors.

I'm talking about someone religious that may not agree with gay marriage because of their religious beliefs, but treats everyone equally (gay, straight, or trans).

They are bullied and tormented by other people in the community and on social media, and it's accepted If it wasn't accepted, the people doing the bullying would lose their jobs. But I have never seen it happen.

I have seen people lose their jobs for disagreeing with the gay marriage ruling...and I'm not even talking about using pejoratives or using any sort of the same bullying tactics.

I would like a world with true equality. Not just equality for the few.

This sort of behavior is not progressive. It's regressive. It's a digital version of mob mentality and is the very reason we have a democratic process with a court system and a judge/jury.

Emotion clouds judgement, intelligence, and facts. The politicians know this and use it to their full advantage to get you to vote for them and create an us vs. them mentality.

Until we change this behavior, there will never be peace.
Honestly I still don't fully accept that having a second engine running on completely different fuel is a good idea for a car. A hybrid airplane seems too ridiculous to even consider, because now both engines have to be lifted up into the sky!

But of course this is based on my own amateur and dated knowledge. With all the work that has gone into hybrids lately, who knows.
An interesting point, but it depends on the definition of the word.

I have an black friend who was said to be, "Not black enough." What does that even mean? Isn't there a fairly concrete definition of black? I get that it's the subculture that crops up around another definition of the word.

I mean go look at the definition. http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/Christian
7. a person who believes in Jesus Christ; adherent of Christianity.

Then we get to
8. a person who exemplifies in his or her life the teachings of Christ.

I'm using definition 7. not definition 8. Meaning the broad reaching, hey you think Jesus Christ did all that shit that happened in the Bible? OK cool you "pass". You are Christian.

Definition 8 is somewhat of a problem. Especially within the ranks of Christians. 8 really means, are you saved, baptized, Catechized, practicing, etc. in accordance with the dictates of our church. It's VERY exclusive.

Just an FYI if you use def 7 you don't exclude anyone who claims to be Christian, even Mormons who are most commonly excluded from Christianity by other Christians, for their belief in the Book of Mormon which is considered an expansion to the Bible.
I've no idea about the whole story and what Hacking Team exactly did during the years, but I started to write serious code around 1998 working for Vincenzetti, so I think I can provide some hint about this to counter-balance all the hate.

* They allowed me to work on hping, releasing it as free software during most of my working hours. They supported my research that lead to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Idle_scan

* Vincenzetti taught me personally many things about POSIX, and he was a very skilled programmer. He wrote, AFAIK before SSH existed, a secure shell that was in use at least in Italy for some time. It used UDP and implemented the reliable connection on top of it in a secure way using state of art encryption. So we are talking about serious programmers.

* Bedeschi, the co-founder of the company, is an incredible hacker, from the way he typed to the keyboard to the incredible Unix knowledged he had.

I worked for a couple of months for their "SecLab", then left the company to return in Sicily since I did not wanted to live in Milan. I don't want to provide an ethical evaluation of the people and don't have enough information, but I can assure you that they were an incredible team of talented hackers.

EDIT: For sure they were very competitive people. I remember than when I left, Vincenzetti told me that it was a shame, I was a very talented programmer in his opinion, and I would finish in my little town in Sicily writing "soccer bet programs". He just wanted to push me to stay in the big city to know more hackers and so forth. I'm glad I don't write soccer bet programs BTW.
Not for just "some reason": for the reason that resource economies create environmental impacts which linger and are not restricted to geographic region. Were you honestly not able to make that inference by yourself?
That's vague. I'm not entitled to a thorough explanation, but I was hoping for a better one.

I have not read the play, seen the play, or seen the movie.
Find us a lighter one for sale.
Here's some techniques to address #1:

1. Store your private keys in a separate process, either on the same machine or a remote, more secure host. Offload private key operations to the private key service. This obviously requires an encrypted connection between your webserver and the private key service, but you get good gains in security from no longer having the private key in your public facing web server's address space.

2. Another technique you can add is to separate the data plane from the control plane on your public facing webserver--that way you have a stripped-down process that is just handling the low level reading and writing of buffers to the wire, and have a fast pipe connecting it to a separate process doing all the HTTP logic. That way, you can lock down the data plane service and make it harder to exploit since it has a much smaller surface area than a full fledged web server.
The law that regulates elections in Greece is flawed (IMO). It assigns the percentages of small parties to the first one, to help it achieve majority in Parliament and be able to govern. This may sound wise, but motivates mainstream parties to not cooperate with smaller ones, and keeps minorities out of parliament.

AFAIK there are countries (NL?) that traditionally could not elect self-contained governments so parties were forced to cooperate with other, which in turn created politics of accommodation. I think this is healthier than blocking minorities out of parliament.

Syriza got elected with 36.3% back in January, while ~64% of Greeks voted.

Also, what happens if a voter agrees with none of the choices (parties)? Is he responsible for what their government does? (Legally yes, that's democracy, but ethically he should be given the right to object)

Oh, let's not forget that Greeks leaving outside Greece (some say we're another 10mil out here) were not given the chance to vote neither in the elections or referendum. We had to travel back to do so...
I've worked heavily with teenagers over the past 10 years, mostly in the context of summer camps (where 40 teenagers are spending 3 weeks of their summer in close quarter).

Where I'm from, France, you need a state certificate to work as an educator (BAFA), which is issued after a few weeks of training.

In my first week of training, which is mostly "theoretical", we had a debate about whether to carry condoms in the camp's sanitary supplies, to give them to teenagers if they ask for them. There is no legal imperative in France - it's mostly at the discretion of the camp director/organizer. I was against, because I was a 17 year old teenager full of convictions (albeit not religious ones) that having condoms available was implicitly encouraging teenagers to have sex.

Then I worked in actual teenage camps and realized how much of an idiot I was. No matter how vigilant and organized the educators are, the fact is that you have 40 teenagers full of hormones living together for 3 weeks. If you don't want STDs/pregnancies, you need condoms.

Anytime I hear people advocating the opposite, it becomes clear to me that they are deluded idealists and that they've never had to manage a community of teenagers.

Thanks for the feedback so far.

It looks like the biggest issue is guessing locations. I have few ideas how to improve it, although fixing it may be hard. Number of possible formats is huge, and event then the same format could be two different things eg. multiple locations (London, Berlin) vs location with state (San Francisco, CA)

I was trying fix most of the places posted in comments here.

For those asking how I map locations. I'm using text tagging with named entity recognition approach.

This was in reference to a statistic about who's buying newly manufactured "assault weapons", particularly the mass quantities of AR-15 pattern rifles and the like that have been selling like hot cakes since the 2008 election.

It insisted that only us "gun nuts", not e.g. the large number of households that only have one or two guns for self-protection, were buying almost all of these new guns; to review and improve my estimate we'd have to find that particular statistic/study.
So... in the future with all cars almost autonomous, I'm wondering will there be a resurgence in motorcycle touring culture?
IMO, the main problem isn't that newbies ask to be given fish. That's okay. There's no shame in being a newbie. The problem is what the community, especially the more knowledgeable users, do when confronted with this situation. Either:

1. They just give them fish, as requested. Sometimes they argue with each other, over who gave the best fish.

2. They angrily say "somebody else has asked for this very same fish before", and downvote the question into oblivion.

What they almost never do, however, is the right thing: teaching them how to fish.
The Gemspec should have an upper limit on major Rails versions as a general best-practice.

But yeah, this happens all the time in this space.

I went freelance in the beginning of the year. I like it so far. I like to be in control of my commitment to projects. That was tough to keep when I had permanent jobs.

Therapy for people who are “too rich”
I guess I just see a disconnect between beliefs a person actually holds, and fake beliefs a person says they hold because they are under impression those are the 'correct' beliefs to hold.

I mean it comes down to a definition of the word belief which we seem to disagree on. There are probably only a handful of people in this world for which our differing definitions of belief would provide the same sets of beliefs.
What the Reddit Rebellion Is Really About
"petition calling on "Chairman Pao" to step down as Reddit's CEO has collected nearly 10k signatures:"

You really have no argument. Why should she step down? Because she let an employee go?

Why did the employee get let go? Until you can answer this, you only have one side of the story.

It's also really childish to use pejoratives like "Chairman Pao". It might be funny to your pot-smoking friends, but you instantly lose credibility with the rest of the world.

> say for a purely electric plane designed for this type of VTOL from the ground up, is it workable

Sure, toys can do it. That's what all these commercial drones are doing. But there's an irritating inverse square law that says the power required to hover goes up shockingly fast when you start to increase the weight.

Also, there's a reason commercial airlines don't use electric engines and batteries; the power-to-weight ratio for a gasoline engine far exceeds that of an electric+battery solution.
