I think harichinnan meant to reply to shas3's post.

Here's my biggest secret. I almost always use Chome's URL address bar as a text buffer. Not only to make sure what I copied is what I expected, but to remove new-lines, and if it's a terminal command, to allow me to edit the arguments in free-form before pasting into terminal.

It was a joke, emphasis on IBM 'Big" stuff...

Do you guys think one person, working alone, can develop an turing passing AI?

Why am I getting downvoted? I just am stating that he replied.

Keys responded directly to that tweet, saying for people to keep saying he is facing 25 years, because it's true.

On the contrary, they don't actually mark it up that much. If anything, Beer has one of the lower mark ups. Bottled water on the other hand...yes.

I think you ARE missing the point. Watching the bytes come over the wire isn't something that they are trying to protect. Just easy cheating in the classroom. They probably received some complains from teachers.

They wanted to keep it working offline, and hints should still be available for students in areas with spotty internet.

It's not Khan Academy responsibility to ensure students don't cheat after all. I mean for all they know the students could have other browsers/computers open.

Why does it matter? I'm tired of seeing people link other discussions. If it's a live active discussion, thats one thing, but a dead discussion from yesterday?....

I think it's more of a case that Yelp paid them to find something and they don't want to turn around and say 'Hey thanks for the money, we didn't find anything' so they stitched this accusation up.

I think you're missing the point.

When most people think of fascial tissue, they think of Kleenex. They call any brand of fascial tissue Kleenex.

IMAX doesn't want people calling any large format theater IMAX. So they over-reach anytime someone mentions the word I assume.

Not justifying the actions, just trying to clear things up. Personally, I think it's ridiculous.

Very cool project. A lot of people active already playing along. Would be nice if we could PM one another that to start a one-on-one convo with someone in a place we're interested in.

I'm seeing a disconnect alright, but it's from the article and your comment. In no way did I interpret that article as saying "the 4-day work week doesn't work."

Although, if you're working on the 5th day, it's not really a four day work week. My Fridays at my regular job are almost as relaxed.

"Neither SpaceX nor Elon Musk is affiliated with any Hyperloop companies. While we are not developing a commercial Hyperloop ourselves, we are interested in helping to accelerate development of a functional Hyperloop prototype."

I thought Elon wanted to create the Hyperloop. Here I was thinking I would see it in the next 5-10 years :(

They stopped the redirect[1] and now just show a link to Google Hong Kong.

They also removed the warning that the user's search results were being filtered [2].

To the best of my knowledge, the current status: User visits Google China - http://google.cn - This is a hyperlink to Google Hong Kong on the front page - IF user searches via Google.cn, the search results will be filtered by China not self-censored by Google. They will NOT be presented with a warning anymore. - IF user searches via Google.hk, from mainland china, the same thing will happen and the results will still be filtered. [3]

At this point, I don't believe the link to .hk Google serves as much use as it does a political statement.

Fixed. Thanks

Lets say one had to pay 1 cent to tweet, don't you think that the quality of data would be much better? A lot of spam bots would be out of business.

Yeah but this is not app.net. I think paying for something that already serves you useful purpose is different then signing up for a new service.

Serious question people, out of the people here that USE Twitter, how much would you pay a month for Twitter, if anything?

http://directpoll.com/v?XDVhEtRR2EAlaVw2sOrQkWlBcohF0N2Z

I value the service, and am wondering what other people value it at.

I will post the results here after set number of people vote.

UPDATE Initially I was going to wait a little longer, but after looking at the results from this sample, the trend is pretty be predictable.

RESULTS LINK: (VIEW AFTER VOTING PLEASE) http://directpoll.com/r?XDVhEtRR2EAlaVw2sOrQkWlBcohFw9na8aNc...

I think the results deserve a discussion on their own...

How come having faith makes one 'probably delusional? How is having faith offending atheists?

I find your comment offending.

The issue I see with Spreedly is it would be a good thing to use from the beginning of the project, but it's not affordable when your first starting out.

Maybe a free package with the ability to store 20 cards? I don't want to pay $99 a month to basically hook up to your API and test it with my first few customers.

"I would not expect to have all the rights of a citizen if I went to work in a foreign country either."

Your expectations are accurate.

For all the nay sayers, this information provided is for the good of all.

If a company declares they can't find talent here in the states and want to hire from outside this information helps:

- Makes sure the company doesn't just go hunting for cheaper labor overseas and bring people here for 40k

- Allows the international employee to view salaries to see if they're getting a fair offer

- Helps U.S. Citizens keep there job/pay because the company can't go higher other people for 40k.

Browsing on Safari like I never do, I thought it was a weird bug. Thanks for my sanity.

"SublimeText3 works great, so why are people willing to jump that ship onto this? Surely paying ~$70 is ok, laudable even, for a daily tool (notwithstanding the fact that it's supporting a indie dev)."

So because something works great and is 'only' $70 you get confused why people choose other tools?

1. Open source is always the first answer for a lot of people (myself included). Atom is new and is constantly being worked on. The package manager is really nice, and great new packages come out everyday.

2. 'Slow' is subjective. I have Atom, and I love it. I have Sublime too, and to be honest in my opinion the difference is not noticeable.

3. Open source again. This time for security reasons.

4. Most people would rather not pay $70 if they don't have to.

Sublime is a great program. But that doesn't mean it has to be the only program.

Note: I also have multiple tabs and multiple windows. Running stable and responsive. Most of the time when I have issues with Atom it's due to outdated/incompatible packages.

Note 2: IMO I strongly prefer dev tools to be open source. We're developers, what better way to show we care about the open source community than to use open source software for our daily tasks. A lot of people working with the application can also work on the application. It just makes sense.

I had a Tidal trial and was trying to see how encrypted their lossless music was. It uses some Chrome NaCL executable to decrypt, then play the music. In any other browsers, you cannot play HiFi music since they do not support NaCL.

That seemed like a good solution to DRM encryption.

At the end of the day though, people can just record the input on their sound card if they really wanted...

Why isn't Microsoft ever transparent about the cost of their devices before release dates? In my opinion their product announcements would have much more attention and excitement if they gave a date and a price. But most of the time it's just, oh look there gonna release something sometime soon for some price. One can't even decide if it's in their budget.

Because the Big Three car makers and the National Association of Manufacturers run this state. They said it will "increase costs" and "cost tons of jobs" if a smog law was passed, since they will have to spend more to pass the tests.

Yes it is and him offering an apology for it was quite ridiculous to be honest.

I've got mixed feelings.

At one end, I think it's perfectly reasonable for the state to require more insurance coverage for Uber drivers since there will be more risk involved than a regular driver.

Background checks required by state? That's Uber's job to decide, and they do it anyway. If Uber doesn't do background checks, and there are incidents (even a small number) it will hurt their business at the end of the day. It's in their best interest to do the background checks in the manner they please.

This is a weird situation where Uber doesn't want to "employ" it drivers and pay for w/e is needed for them to do business, but at the same time their drivers require them to provide them with everything to do their job and now their source of income (employer) left the state and them jobless.

I wish we were provided with more details like how much this background check/insurance would cost. They already do both (Uber does a background & provides commercial insurance coverage) so honestly this half-written articles do nothing but make people even MORE confused on how Uber REALLY does business.
