Well I definitely don't refer friends here. But I also do recruit people. I do take care of the people I recruit by shielding most communication between the new hires and the CEO. I also believe that I need to plan an exit strategy by recruiting people that could replace me because the others cannot.
More taxes and regulations is a definite way to kill small businesses in the us. Its sad that the democrats are the ones trying to get these regulations and laws passed.
Something I always wonder is just how well they were able to produce symmetry in their designs, when it was all sculpted (usually out of clay) .. before CAD, it had to have been done with pure artistic sensibility, and it worked so well .. I wonder if we've lost something of the minor, subtle imperfections that are seemingly observed at a subconscious layer, and which seem to imbue a degree of affinity for those old designs...

You're totally right though I should clarify what I meant by broken. There are so many hands in the cookie jar and so much bureaucracy with payouts that it takes millions of investment to get this business off the ground. And it wouldn't be profitable. It's a technically simple concept and we had this (albeit false) feeling that "this should be easy to do." I mean think about it, a DJ charging people for song requests would essentially run into the same problems that we did. We were just adding one layer to the business model and enough to try to cover operating expenses.

There are jukeboxes that do make the business model work, but they are hardware that cost 10s of thousands of up front investment for the bar or coffee house. We found, in market research, that 100% of the surveyed businesses would use this kind of service, but they wouldn't pay more than $25 - $100 per month for it, absolute max.
"Galaxy" quest? I know that authors in print publications generally don't write the headlines, and it seems a perfectly worthy article despite the iffiness of the Mars One project. But I still wonder why writers generally make no effort to distinguish between the Solar System, our Galaxy, other galaxies and the whole universe.

Of course, 'Galaxy Quest' is a pretty popular science fiction film, but it's one that parodies mainly a space opera series that takes place long after the Solar System has been explored. For anyone interested enough to read the article, titling it 'Galaxy Quest' is an outright distraction. You can say I'm pointlessly nitpicking, but I genuinely believe that laziness and sticking to convention ('here's a sci-fi reference!') has fuelled the decline of print journalism in favour of more authentic fare.

Steroid weight gain (for professional fighters) is mostly water weight which is relatively easy to shed for the weigh in (I referenced Canelo just now, he routinely sheds 15-20 pounds and regains it within the span of 24 hours for his fights, because it's all water weight, he doesn't have to lose fat or muscle to do so). Beyond that steroids simply help you recover better and build muscle easier, but you still need to put in the work, and you can't get bigger on a caloric deficit no matter how many steroids you use. So steroids for fighters aren't commonly associated with weight issues (they do outside of fighting, for hormone treatments or bodybuilders).

Beyond that I don't know if Cyborg's on steroids, I don't follow her much and I wouldn't be surprised if she was, but I don't see her weight as being remotely related. Again, it's extremely untypical to go down in weight classes, if that was supposedly indicative of steroids I can literally name a hundred fighters who'd be suspicious from the top of my head.

Anyway yeah she said it a couple times that she could do 135, yet it hasn't happened because she wants the fight at 140 at a catchweight I suggested (I'm just reading this now). I mean Cyborg just a few years ago won gold medals at at 74kg or 163 pounds. Now she has to drop down to 135 pounds from there, or 10 pounds from her 145 fights this year? Instead of Ronda agreeing to go up 5 pounds to 140, when Ronda competed just fine in tougher competitions at 154 before? So supposedly she's got the self confidence to fight anyone, to beat men, to even beat elite female boxers like Laila Ali IN BOXING, when Laila competed up to 175 (I mean it's just a total joke), yet Ronda doesn't want to go up 5 pounds for Cyborg to go down 5 pounds and make the fight happen?
This is a result of the ridiculous rent in places like sf. Why not figure out a way to lower the rent?

> All of these examples you'll see here will compile without warnings or errors even with very strict compiler flags in gcc and clang (gcc -Wall -ansi -pedantic -std=c89 main.c)

Umm, that's really not that restrictive. Use `clang -Weverything -std=c11 main.c` if you want strict warnings.
This is even true in mental sports like chess.
Even after accounting for attendance rates the difference in strength is humongous.
It seems men are just better at competitive activities although it's very unpopular position to take.

It's in fact so unpopular that you can get papers claiming the opposite published despite very simple math errors in them, like this one: http://rspb.royalsocietypublishing.org/content/276/1659/1161

while arguing for opposite gets you shunned even if all you need to prove your point is high school level math and a rating list with attendance rates.

In MMA it's not even interesting as men are way stronger, have better hand-eye coordination and way less body fat. I doubt she would have a chance again a local amateur small town champion let alone anyone competitive.
definitely nitpicking, but if those institutions should actually be dismantled, it might be beneficial to those wrapped up in the institution in the long run (while detrimental to the institution itself)
There's also http://clang.llvm.org/docs/ControlFlowIntegrity.html, which already comes with LLVM. It's unclear what's better in the OP implementation.
It has nothing to do with homosexuality. In India it is normal for a guy to hold the hand of a guy (or girl to hold another girl) while walking or even hug each other as a way of greeting. You can even see friends walking together having their hands on others shoulder.

But you do the same to a person of opposite sex in public, it would raise some eyebrows. Unless, you are in a big metropolitan city.
Community living is difficult. If one looks at historical and contemporary mendicant communities in the Catholic West (e.g. Franciscans, Dominicans, Missionaries of the Poor, etc.), it is not uncommon for their members to both praise community life as a great blessing while simultaneously explaining it and experiencing it as a hard and unyielding cross in their daily lives (cf. Luke 9:23).

However, from a Catholic religious perspective, crosses are all the more bearable as one learns to experience them as a means of personal sanctification (closer personal union with Christ crucified) and an opportunity to practice and grow in virtue – "dying to self" more and more so that joyful generosity truly becomes the rule of life. In this way, community-life-as-a-cross becomes a means for both individual and community to give glory to God and work toward the salvation of souls.

Can secular motives truly substitute for that transcendent motive and outlook? I certainly think it's an interesting question.
The Medium Viable Product
Do the things you enjoy with people you enjoy and you will never be lonely or bored. Your current group of friends don't share your interests? You're going to lose them eventually anyway. Might as well start making new ones now.
Because your average business today doesn't seem to give a shit about truth (see: almost everyone's marketing), fairness (especially to employees), goodwill (externality? what's an externality?) and benefiting all concerned (a third of the companies out there would probably not exist if their founders gave a rat's ass about their effect on society).

Call me cynical, but I get the feeling that morality and honor got sacrificed for competitiveness. Internet businesses are a special case here, they can afford to be fair to the employees and to care in a way, and yet there are still lots of them that are harmful to the society.

Hmm. I can see the problem right there. Google takes 50% for distribution. If that figure was less then artists would get more.
It's his passion for the material that always keeps me watching. Listening to someone explain a topic that they find deeply intriguing is a pleasure. Reminds me of Feynman.
I, for one, abandoned my religion simply because I came to the conclusion that the teachings of the religion itself (evangelical Christianity in my case) weren't true. I have no problem with shared values per se; I could probably get behind a secular humanist community's shared values. And even rituals might be good, as long as the participants don't regard them as time-wasting bullshit.
I don't think it's necessary to emulate religion/church to achieve the desired benefits. People in modern times can self-organize around all sorts of communities. From independent music "scenes", to Hello Kitty conventions, to Halo, there are plenty of ad hoc communities out there that support their members in many of the ways that matter.
Can we first stop making fucking ANY x support depend on the entire CUPS subsystem?

I have a LOT of different computers/VMs that need X in some form, and will never, ever EVER print anything. Why do I need the 10+ CUPS packages to install a minimal desktop environment?

This is also true for audio bullcrap.
In other cases, when talking about specific individuals--in particular, Olympic weightlifting record-holders--the gender difference is still very obvious.

This wave of immigrants comes in a very unfortunate moment when there is a high unemployment in lots of EU countries and lots of economic immigration inside EU. This makes the new immigrants perfect candidates for welfare or criminality, because lots of low skill jobs are already occupied by previous immigrants (from eastern Europe for example).

Why not build a tool for every file format that simply dumps the contents of the file in a human-readable way. Then feed the output through "diff". That approach would sound more "unix-ey" to me.
He has actually started his own version of what the article talks about. It's called The School of Life. People get together in a church-like setting, listen to sermons and sing. It's quite interesting and I'd definitely go if they had one in the Bay Area.

I think it provides a really interesting answer to the problem: "If we don't have God to talk about, then what the hello are we doing here?". Their answer is to focus on how to live better lives and they tackle the problem in a way that's very smart and contemporary.

People don't tend to have visceral reactions to socioeconomic trends, so I doubt that would be the cause of hatred against muslims but I know they do get that visceral reaction to fear. Inequality may be a problem in the future, but that is a solvable problem so long as they are willing to work hard.

So is your intuitionist discipline a subset of constructivism? I thought that constructivists generally accept the existence and uncountability of the real numbers.
Are you sure? The handful of times I've inquired to an acquaintance about freakishly white teeth, they've always said it was just because they took really good care of their teeth, didn't drink coffee or soda, used whitening toothpaste, and had good genes.
Where do you live? What are the alternatives for someone who's curious about these communities?
This video is somewhat misleading. I appreciate the attempt at making Banach-Tarski accessible to a general audience, but it dwells on the wrong aspects of what makes Banach-Tarski interesting, making the construction look more like a magic trick with sleight-of-hand. I wish the video had at least mentioned the Axiom of Choice somewhere, as that is fundamentally what Banach-Tarski is about.

The sleight-of-hand comes in around 14:30 into the video, where we are told to create the sequence for an "uncountably infinite number of starting points." That's exactly the point where the construction is non-constructive, and the infamous Axiom of Choice is used. There is no construction - in the sense of constructive mathematics - that can achieve what is described at this point.

Banach-Tarski is not generally regarded as some deep fact about mathematics, a point the video mistakenly belabors. Rather, it is a consequence about particular axiomatizations of set theory which admit the Axiom of Choice. Banach-Tarski is only valid with the Axiom of Choice, and in fact that is the main interest in the paradox.

In my personal opinion, the Banach-Tarski paradox isn't much more enlightening than the simpler construction of the Vitali set (assuming the Axiom of Choice), which is a non-measurable set of real numbers (with Lebesgue measure, i.e., length).

Another part of the video I find misleading has to do with the hyper-dictionary, where he describes the hyper-dictionary by putting some parts of the dictionary "after" other parts which are infinitely long.

The putative applications of Banach-Tarski to physics are ridiculous. Uncountable sets are fundamentally unphysical. The Axiom of Choice serves mainly as a convenience to mathematicians when either a proof avoiding the Axiom of Choice would be more complicated, or so that mathematicians can state properties of objects which are set-theoretically larger than anything that can be relevant to physics anyways.
In Egypt here, young male couples could be seen strolling together where one is holding one arm to the side crossed with his hand near the tummy and the other one resting his wrist on the former's forearm like what you see when in weddings where the groom walks his bride down the aisle.

We call it أنجاجيه from the French word Engagee meaning engaged but this is only reserved exclusively for teens/high-schoolers who are BFFs or very close and not for every acquaintance but as you grow up you abandon those bromance/frat stuff and get tired of it.

However, holding hands incessantly and crossing fingers and stuff is frowned upon and could raise some eyebrows or suspicion in people around you.
Hey, if you said "written in C", I would be similarly excited about its ease of deployment.
You could use this line of reasoning to argument for being charitable to people trying to invent a perpetuum mobile.
Oh right. I'll go in my corner of shame now. You know, the one where I'm somehow responsible for all the world's evils and you aren't, because finger pointers are of course exempted. Mainly because the other shameful life-livers would get tired of them.

Like I said, where you are born is an accident of birth. You want to make me responsible not only for where I was born, but where my parents were born. You of course, being of noble birth, have nothing to be thankful for and nothing to contribute.
The Francs Maçons in France is such an organization. It has all the described properties.

It is unfortunately a bit abused by people using the community for career promotion or commercial advantages due to the solidarity among people belonging to this community. Religious comunities display the same perversion.

The reading of the OP's article made it clear to me that our occidental societies are apparently in a strong cultural evolution. I share the conclusion of the author.

Irrationality, dogmas and beliefs have still too much legitimate space in our society. It is a disease when it is used to justify inhuman actions.
Robert Zubrin reckoned the whole Mars Direct programme would cost $55 billion in 1995 dollars.

Let's say 'The Case for Mars' is viable but the costings were optimistic, and should be more like $500 billion in 2015 dollars, that's more like 0.3% of USA GDP for ten years. Way greater than Mars One's supposed budget but achievable if America decided to colonise Mars.
Very true, I had python and ruby in mind. What Go makes different still is that static linking is mandatory.

Lodges, while at one time pillars of the local community, isn't the same thing. All the groups mentioned, are/were pretty exclusionary. I believe all of these organizations either currently are, or were historically strictly male. (Perhaps, the VFW was always open to women, but with the military requirement, it still has a strong a filter.) Furthermore, all of these organizations are for adults. While religious services and fellowship opportunities are for the whole family, you can't exactly bring a 3 year old to a Kiwanis club.

You need an thing for all ages.
>I don't really mind letting a lot of people in who are willing and able to work. I mind letting people in who are going to receive the very generous welfare payments Denmark gives out, and which are part of the social contract since they never payed into the system.

Quite a lot of locals have a negative balance vs the system. Doesn't it seem a bit arbitrary to leave it that way? How about a probation system... learn the language, get a job, limit the money you can take, and don't commit any crimes.
For some Dads, alas, yes. It is a thing. Open affection towards ones children, in some settings, can be a surefire way to attract unwanted attention from people who can only be described as hair-trigger SJW's, just waiting to pounce on any male they deem a threat, and 'offensive' behaviour such as holding ones daughters' hand, or giving her a kiss in greeting, has often gotten a Dad in more hassle than its worth. I think its atrocious - as a father, I can't think of anything worse than some social entity claiming that my affection for my children has a nefarious intent. It is really a common tragedy, alas - so much so that I see associate Fathers whose daughters just don't get balanced affinity from their parents. Yes, it is a thing, and it is a sad state of affairs.

My boys get hugs and kisses regardless. Love shouldn't have to be defended from others, but alas PDA for children is a huge social issue in modern America - and England too, I have noticed. In some ways, our societies are terribly pornographic.
Why is Homejoy still quoted on the YC landing page?
A few weeks after Homejoy announced that they're closing down, YC still has a quote from Adora Cheung on the landing page --> 'Homejoy would not be where it is today without YC...'

Is this an oversight or is there a reason for still displaying the quote so prominently?

Of course I'm not asking whether it was a mistake to invest in Homejoy at all, it just seems like a funny decision to leave them up there when I'm sure they have enough quotations from founders who's companies are still going strong...

What am I missing?

Yes, top, even middle of the road, male MMA fighters would destroy her. But the comment might be alluding to top fighters from other disciplines, specifically boxing, specifically Floyd Mayweather, who would absolutely get dominated by her.
I'm from a North African country and your comment sounds foreign to my ears. Maybe this is more fitting to Morocco or Tunisia but I can't attest to your observation that it's upheld here in Egypt.
The reason this isn't usually done is that executable size was significant relative to storage capacity up until the early 2000s or so, and people tried to economize by deduping common parts of their executables via shared libraries / DLLs. This worked well enough to catch on, but came with an extremely high cost in added complexity, and over the years a whole layer of additional infrastructure was created in order to manage it. The industry progressed, storage capacity grew dramatically, and executable sizes stopped mattering, but the use of shared libraries / DLLs continued out of inertia. As time passed, people started asking - why are we doing all this? And some of them invented a reason, which was the idea that one could swap out pieces of existing executables after installation, and thereby fix security problems in an application without needing to involve the application's developer in the process. This works about as well as you'd expect if you had spent years trying to fit all the rough edges of various third-party libraries together with varying degrees of success, but the idea caught on as a popular post-hoc justification for the huge layer of complexity we're all continuing to maintain long after its original justification became obsolete.

As is no doubt obvious from my tone, I'm not buying it and am very happy to see signs of a pendulum-swing back toward static linking and monolithic executables.
That's also true, PBRT uses a lot of virtual functions.
We're at the end of a cycle, so there's a real sense of pop investing and other characteristics that come with it, such as what happened in 1999. That annoys some people, maybe for the reason you mention, or maybe because they like technology and are ashamed that it makes us look like fools.

We both know that in a year from now (but no more than three) there will be 10% of the current number of startups, and investing will be much more grounded. It happens every 7-10 years. No need to take shots.
This reminded me of another C syntax strangeness: "Flexible array member". It allows you to do something like this:

struct items_with_header {
int header_field1;
unsigned int length;
double array[];
};

Then allocate enough memory and use the struct to access it.

Used it once in a hash-table implementation.
No, you would use it to ask if you know enough to be sure that that's really what they're trying to invent.
How does this compare to Cloud Foundry? Do they solve different problems and therefore should not be compared directly?

I can (and will) google this myself in an effort to triangulate and understand but I figure it would be valuable to hear from people who are more informed and experienced.
