I think what you're describing is just fraud.
To take your fair coin example, publication bias is when the only studies that get published are the ones that show an unfairness in the coin – the rest of the studies that simply find 50% heads and 50% tails (aka a fair coin) don't get published because they're not interesting.
Someone who majored in liberal arts but is able to themselves to code is likely to be an intelligent and motivated individual. I suspect that more readily explains the successes of these individuals than their liberal arts studies.
It's also my personal observation that someone's college major has no bearing on their ability to think critically.
In the course I took, the program would call home whenever it exploded and deduct points from your grade on the assignment. So naturally I just went in with hexedit and deleted that particular call to that function in explode_bomb.
Can anyone explain what is meant by this:
During the Iraq war, reporters informed us that a mob of jubilant Iraqis toppled the statue of Saddam Hussein in Firdos Square. Never mind that there were so few local people trying to pull the statue down that they needed the help of a U.S. military crane.
Here's an (edited) video of the event: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Snyz8sn2-z4
I'm 90% certain I watched this live at home in the morning when I was home sick from school. There were a smattering of people trying to bring it down and then the crowd got bigger and then the U.S. crane came in and helped. This happened over the course of an hour or two. I remember thinking it was cool that U.S. military helped out.
Where does this claim of the false narrative come in?
The model I was shooting for was having your API be an independent HTTP rest service (whatever framework/language you want) with the nodejs server consuming it to render the initial view and then the client also consuming it in order to carry on with execution.
Martyjs (and the marry-express module) makes this very easy to do in that you can write your application without having to consider the context in which it is running (server or client).
I think the backend DB integration is a separate concern from how to build isomorphic js apps.
In terms of test coverage I don't have much experience testing js apps so I can't speak to the pain points there.
Hey check this out:

This may help you out. I created this after also struggling to find a good isomorphic example app.
I watched the video twice and I can't figure out what the purpose of this is.
The copy on the website suggests it's a mine clearing device but it doesn't seem you can use these to methodically clear a tract of land in order to 'reclaim' it - the paths that these things take are subject to winds and the terrain. Also there's the issue of retrieving the device to repair it and then if you can't retrieve it, there's the issue of these things littering their debris everywhere.
Then at the end of the video he says that it's a tool for local peoples to "cheaply survey the danger in their own environment". This makes more sense. If rolling this thing over a piece of land causes a detonation then you know the area around the detonation is likely to contain more mines so you can avoid that area.
Maybe someone with more insight or a better understanding can chime in.
Where exactly did I trivialize spying?
What an excellent straw man you have constructed.
You know what's more damaging than snarkiness? Hyperbole, group think, and poor rhetoric. Hacker News, reddit, and Imgur have it in spades.
Huh and yet here, as per your links, we have mainstream media reporting on it.
Have those journalists been subjected to 'extreme retaliation'?
Perhaps we don't hear about it frequently not because there is a conspiracy among 'Israeli supporters' (we all know what you mean bro!) but because the issue is not so pressing or widespread as you would have us believe?
A basic assumption with drones is they are great because the US has them
Are you advocating for some sort of 'red line' on the use of drones much like on the use of chemical weapons so that the use of such weapons anywhere in any context would incur reprisals from the international community.
That's really the only thing I can think of that would make this make your statement relevant. Regardless of what people in the US think of the legitimacy of using drones, unaligned parties will use them if they can.
Oh ok. I think you're saying that because you think that Rice believes [something bad with respect to data privacy], by Dropbox saying that she's fully supportive of their commitments Dropbox must also believe in [something bad with respect to data privacy].
So I guess that comes down to what Rice's exact views are.
Personally, I doubt she's completely against the idea of data privacy in all cases and thus it's possible that Dropbox's existing views and policies on data privacy are compatible with hers.
And anyway, I doubt that Dropbox could or would stop responding to FISA requests or warrants regardless of who's on the board considering that they operate in the US.
It is a big deal, just not from your perspective because you're solely focused on data privacy.
The statement is meant to address the data privacy concerns raised about her appointment. This doesn't mean the concerns are valid, just that they exist and Dropbox is aware of them. The alternative would be to not address the concerns and look completely out of touch with or intentionally ignoring the frenzy of the past few days.
How about:
1. Rice wasn't brought on for anything that has to do with data privacy and thus her views on data privacy are irrelevant.
2. Rice doesn't have an uncontrollable compulsion to send people's data to the NSA and thus it's unlikely she'll be sneaking off to install backdoors.
NYU has a program where college students doing internships in NYC can live in an NYU dorm for ~$360/week.
I didn't find the groceries/food to be all that expensive.
"Apple and Google’s wage-fixing involved dozens more companies, over 1M employees" - 80 characters
"Revealed: Apple and Google’s wage-fixing cartel involved dozens more companies, over one million employees" - 106 characters
HN has an 80 character limit for titles.
I'd prefer journalists themselves not take a position on the spying or what Snowden did.
The statement contains no judgement either way.
Sounds like you're the target market for Glenn Greenwald's new news organization.
Many talented hackers will stay away from events with large prizes because there's no way to win unless you use the most APIs/products that the main sponsor(s) have provided
This has been my experience at both HackDuke and PennApps with the additional issue of favoritism towards students from the host college.
Yup I have this exact problem.
Sometimes waiting a few minutes and trying to turn it on again works.
As best I can tell this is more like an English-looking CFG with a simple attribute grammar. And the rules can be updated at runtime.
Why do you think it's propaganda?
To be fair, IIRC, you've been programming for longer than many people on this site have been alive.
(I listened to your interview on Javascript Jabber.)
I had to call Comcast in order to disable the Wifi radio on my modem.
Not really a backdoor, just remote administration.
Semitic words are triliteral:
I had to write one of these (in C) for a class a couple years ago.
Is this satire?
Yes! First thing I thought of when I saw this submission.
I guess people disagree on which acts they consider criminal.
Is this satire?
Oh right, duh.
Spoofing IP headers (specifically the source address) is possible.
