My wife and I moved to the Puget Sound area in 2009, and I've not regretted a single moment. We moved from the KCMO area and it's like night and day. People simply seem to care more about nature and outdoor activities than in MO. When we had a son, my parents moved out here to be nearby as he grows up (and watch him while we work); they don't regret a thing either, they love it here as well.

Even if you don't travel around going to the state and national parks, there's a ton of regional parks with trails, trails all over for biking and walking and a lot of nature all around.

I mean... it rains here all the time, and, and, earthquakes and volcanoes, it's probably a bad idea to move here. ;)

Yep, fair game. Feminism, racism, whatever "ism" are beliefs. Not intrinsic characteristics. When people believe things someone else finds silly or repugnant and they are mocked... suck it up. Rough luck and too bad. Defend or ignore. Ideology and belief systems shouldn't be protected against mockery and there shouldn't be a free pass to not be offended on this. Unlike intrinsic characteristics.

I say this because it's part of my religion of free will. I really wish people would stop mocking my religion and oppressing me:)

It's been quite a time since I recall anyone discussing commodore vs. amiga.

As far as the C64 goes, it was left in the dust by the Atari ST. I used the 64 and the later 128 right up until I got my ST. The programming tools (compilers, etc.) available for the ST were words better than the 64/128's toolsets.

I used the Amiga for only a month. Housefire :-(

Actually, I think this is the biggest strength of spreadsheets, that no one has taken advantage of yet. Most of what you term as poor IT policies is just what (in my personal experience) just users finding something that works for them. And software developers don't seem to take note of this.

You are right that there are lots of better tools for tasks users use excel for, but 2 which spring to mind for me that devs haven't paid attention to are form/table design and databases:

Form design: It used to (ok, still does) drive me crazy when I see excel used to make flyers and forms to be printed out. But for the users what could be easier than drawing a box on the screen, adding a line weight, and then drawing other boxes inside that using the convenient spreadsheet grid? Why hasn't someone designed an app that works that simply?

Databases in excel are another monstrosity, but for a lot of users, all they want is a simple lay of listing things which they can then sort, and maybe sum a few totals on. Firing up a complete RDBMS is over kill for this use case.

So I see the biggest problem with spreadsheets as why aren't we learning from the way people use them and putting this into action?
This title gives me a headache for so many reasons.
3.) I think the 'Top Topics' are categorizations based upon the words found in the subtitles. Each word in the English language is mapped to a category, and based upon the word content of the show, it is assigned a category. While interesting in theory, it definitely misses the mark on certain shows. I assume The Simpsons is due to their 27 Treehouse of Horror events while the rest of the show does not necessarily have a central focus.
No.

The problem is, the using "HTTPS" HTTP header (that translates to "HTTP_HTTPS" environment variable in CGI terms) is a kludge. It should've been bare "HTTPS" variable in a same manner "REQUEST_ADDR" is, but someone didn't care much (or wasn't able to do things properly in early days) but shared a recipe that became so widespread, it's a nearly de-facto standard now. Or maybe this had evolved when TLS termination proxies were much more common, but due to laziness the recipe had eventually lost mandatory sanitization of X-Forwarded-For and HTTPS headers.

Still, if webserver is unaware of HTTPS (say, it had never ever had anything with TLS) it's not really webserver's fault it's not dropping some request header.
I've seen an investor back out on a signed terms sheet (once). In my book the deal isn't done until the check clears or the wire arrives.
One either does or one doesn't because one chooses. Consciously or subconsciously it is a choice. Maybe there is a lot of social pressure in the choice, maybe the fact there is a choice isn't clear, but it is still a choice. Particularly in this day and age when one everyone can see there are many different ways of looking at things. One isn't born a Christian or a Nazi or an Anarchist.

I'm optimistic about web components, but I don't think Polymer's ready yet - I was seeing their demo components not work in a new Chrome on Linux just a couple months ago (they still may not work, I'm too lazy to go through the examples right now).

The main two draws of Polymer are that it's built on web components (which are cool and futuristic) and that it implements material design (which is nice looking). There are other material design widget libraries however, even ones made by Google. Have you seen MDL (http://www.getmdl.io/)? It's a more minimalistic CSS/Javascript approach and will probably be faster and more cross compatible.

FWIW the three things you mentioned (Polymer, Angular, React) are kind of dissimilar in an apple-to-oranges way:

* Polymer is basically a UI widget library with some other bits thrown in - it doesn't really help you structure your application, it's just widgets for building the view layer.

* Angular is a full-ish MVC platform that provides you with tools to build your own UI components/widgets

* React is just a toolkit for building UI components, and it doesn't come with anything else (but it does encourage a kind of design where you don't need much else)

Neither of the latter two come with pre-built widgets: you have to make them yourself or find libraries of them made by others (which is pretty easy to do).

For my money, your expectation on which of these is easy to pick up is backwards: Angular is way, way more complex than React and has a much higher learning curve. React does basically one thing (and does it very well) so there's really not much to learn about it at all - you can pick it up in a day once you wrap your head around the rendering-as-a-pure-function-of-state concept. Angular is a full framework and it does a lot of things and is opinionated about how it does them, so there's a whole lot more to learn. If you need all that MVC stuff done for you, Angular might be the way to go though (but beware the coming 2.0 transition that's going to break all backwards compatibility completely).

I personally like React a lot - I'm probably going to try to wrap MDL components in React for a project I'm working on right now.

Interesting comment by `admiralrewd` regarding KOI-4878.01 & general critique of ESIs on reddit from 6 months ago:

edit: the post links to a couple of papers making a few pretty reasonable points about the assumptions underlying the ESIs, and the errors involved in the calculation.
It isn't terribly clear what the criteria are meant to correlate with -- the Wikipedia page explicitly says that it's not about habitability, but doesn't really say what it is about. Maybe the criteria and exponents have been arbitrarily chosen to "get the right answers" according to someone's intuitive notion of similarity.

It certainly seems strange that Venus is scores lower than Mars, too -- by any reasonable definition it's the more "Earth-like" of the two -- it has an atmosphere, it's closer in size and mass and so on. The weights on the surface temperature measure just kill it, though.

Hmm, I 'get' the fear of that, it's not unreasonable, but not going into nature to avoid a small chance of lyme disease seems shortsighted. Like others said, it's curable, and the tick has to be on you for 24 hours, and it's not like a guaranteed thing[0]. Just check when you get home at the least. Bug sprays and whatnot work great too (check out Lemon Eucalyptus oil, it's as strong as DEET but without any side effects according to the CDC and it's pretty inexpensive on Amazon).

That said, I get it, I avoid skiing with the same fervor; too much risk of bodily harm for little reward, also things like tree wells and avalanches? No thanks. People look at me as weird as you probably feel we are looking at you. (it's also expensive, so there's that excuse)

>I feel that many people see today's iPhone and compare it to the watch, but the original iPhone with iPhone OS 1.0 had only 2G, no GPS, no app store, a miserable camera, couldn't record videos, no copy & paste, and a lot of flaws that I'm probably forgetting right now.

I'm still scratching my head today how they managed to turn that into a success. I thought for sure with all of those issues it was going to be a flop. I still don't understand why it wasn't.

And according to tear downs margins are considered pretty high. Not as high as their other products, but they are certainly not selling at a loss.

I too find it funny talking about a failure of a product that had ~1B in revenue (more than the MS Surface tablets in the same quarter), and where Tim Cook said the sales were back loaded, i.e. accelerating.

Anecdotally I'm seeing more and more Apple Watches around.

EDIT

I guess the Apple haters like down voting facts. Here are some sources from yesterdays earnings call:

From the earnings call transcript (http://www.imore.com/this-is-tim-transcript-q3-2015):
On the Watch, our June sales were higher than April or May. I realize that’s very different than some of what’s being written, but June sales were the highest. The Watch had a more of a back-ended kind of skewing.

From the CFO (http://www.sanluisobispo.com/2015/07/21/3730284_apple-strong...):
But Chief Financial Officer Luca Maestri told The Associated Press that revenue from the watch amounted to "well over" that $952 million increase. He said the watch sales were offset by declining revenue from iPods and accessories, which are also lumped into that segment.

I would add a couple of things:

I'd like asserts / rules / invariants / constrains that alert me when they are no longer valid. Everyone implements this with conditional formatting to get them red.

Related, I don't like having three coding spaces: the cell value, the format formula, and possibly vba.

Also, the whole book/sheet/cell hierarchy is very limited. Complex formatting is complicated when a simple fix would do: just let me compose views of several sheets, so I can put tables side-by-side without the need for them to be aligned, break when I add columns to one table, etc. Support for tree-like structures is done typically by merging parent cells to span more. Just support trees as an alternative to tables! If the layout on point 3 would exist, this would be beautiful. A structure would be book/object-set-layout/cell, where objects can be: a tree, a table, etc. Formatting is part of an object and can be more easily templated, code is referenced, not created, in the objects, and is all apart - vba style. ResolverOne had this last one right. Having all code apart would mean easier version control, and easier separation of logic/presentation/data. Lastly, you could link objects from separate locations and authorization, and have a federated data model. But now I'm just overarchitecting :).
Reality is really weird though.

I really keep trying to think whether aliens existing would actually radically change my life, individually. On one hand, maybe, but on the other, probably not (and this is more likely).

I feel like I already experience my existence like I am alien to everything that is not me, whether it is talking to a cat or a person or a tree, the whole thing is like 'reality blob' that I am not really sure how all of this happened, nor do I ever have any hope whatsoever of finding the answer to that question. When I wonder thoughts to myself I wonder who it is that thinks the question and who it is that responds with an answer. So many thinkings are just permutations of what has already been heard, and they form patterns and it's really weird.

It's easy to get 'used to things' and 'acclimated to things', I just feel like I have it hardwired in me to perpetually be weirded out by my own existence. Complexity doesn't even describe it, strange doesn't either, as these are all human concepts. You really just have to learn to observe with a completely blank mind. Then it's just like being in this interface that's always super weird and confusing, and it's ridiculous how some people really think they know what they are doing (like in their deepest philosophical and spiritual core, not like 'have to go to work today to feed the kids').

but at the end of the day, the haggling ended, and terms were agreed upon (it seems). Handshakes done.

I think the comments have gone off on a tangent focusing on whether you getting cut out of the deal was ethical (whereas the blog post was just a flat out interesting story to read about). But at least the way your post reads, you definitely got screwed out of the deal. Sure, nothing is done until things are signed, but as many investors have told me "my reputation is everything". Seems like it should go both ways. This certainly doesn't reflect positively on the founders.

Typical arguments will be something like that nobody has ever died as a result of a nuclear energy accident. More people have died falling off of roofs installing solar panels, falling into the concrete during the construction of hydro dams, choking on chicken bones while operating natural gas plants, etc.

The increased cancers and infant mortality after Three Mile Island are either waved away or "not directly caused by an accident". The shitshow regarding safe disposal of radioactive waste is conveniently ignored.

Even in the case of coal, which is an awful fuel for a variety of reasons, at least you're dispersing a known quantity of radioactive material and we can plan around that or set long term expectations. It's a known high risk/known impact phenomenon. What happens if incompetence, natural disaster or malicious actor disrupts the cooling ponds where radioactive waste products are stored? You have a low risk/very high impact event that could produce a long term public health crisis.

I have an Apple Watch and haven't worn it in weeks. There are a few reasons:

1. It's too fancy. I work a lot with my hands, and am afraid of beating the watch up with daily use. So far it's been fairly scratch and damage proof, but it's only a matter of time before it makes contact with a surface that will scratch it.

2. The gesture doesn't work very well. I have to over exaggerate my viewing gesture in order to see the watch's updates/alerts. I also can't wear it on the inside of my wrist for the same reasons.

3. It's rude. If I get an alert on my phone, while in the pocket, during the middle of conversation, I can check when the conversation is over. Not so with the watch. It's thumping and alerting me with every alert, which is a distraction. Furthermore, there's nothing worse than talking with someone and seeing them check their watch. Are they too bored? Are they in a hurry? No, they're checking their phone/watch.

Overall, I didn't feel like it added any value, and felt like it made interactions with people even more awkward.
Right! I saw profanity in the big bang theory too but unless it was bleeped out I don't believe that has ever happened

This is going to be my go-to factoid on nuclear plant nimby-ism.

My uncle had an interesting experience in this vein. It was well understood that high voltage power lines caused all manner of health issues, from cancer to various degenerative diseases. He understood that EM radiation from the lines really shouldn't be very dangerous, though, and didn't think much of the leg of a line tower in his back yard. Then one day the power company came through to clear out the underbrush growing around the base of the line's tower. In just two days after the spraying all vegitation was thoroughly dead. Turns out they spray an Agent Orange-like chemical to keep the towers maintained from plant overgrowth. You can bet he moved shortly after noticing that. (This was some years ago, and likely has been (hopefully) rectified.)

This comment chain was started by talking about wind. And people here seem to take it for granted that nuclear is affected by politics, but tend to be fuzzier about things like wind. Wind power is very political in nature. On the one hand, tax credits / etc. On the other hand, regulations as to where you can put wind turbines, etc. And general discontent about bat deaths / noise complaints / etc. (And in some cases, at least, for good reason.) And unmetered (and as such, unknown, which is "interesting") power used for things like rotating the wind turbines, feathering them, and keeping them turning when there isn't wind.
