I like the idea of a privacy classification system, along the lines of movies or video games. With at least some public focus on privacy, perhaps this is the time to create an industry standard?

There's the white win if black blunders. If white moves the forwardmost pawn ahead and black does not capture it with the bishop (the blunder), then promoting the pawn to a queen or bishop is checkmate.

1. the soda industry poured over...

2. I was just listening to a Stuff you should know on artificial sweeteners, and it seems that there's some downsides to diet sodas as well. One example was that the non-calorie sweetener reduced the body/brain's relation between sweetness and calories. This causes the body not to recognize other sweet things (full sugar drinks/candy, carbs, etc) as caloric.

I don't have to get that specific with time, just hours worked, but I use IFTTT to track the hours I am physically at the office. Beyond that I'm pretty good about remembering work done offiste or at home.

Do the problems change rapidly enough for the monthly discussion to be radically different than before?

Perhaps Quarterly?

You're missing the point as well.

ATM Machine would mean Automatic Teller Machine Machine.

Or there's a reference to going Plaid.

This is called Deceleration (or Direct) Fuel Cut Off (DFCO). When the engine is turning at > 1500 RPM, and your foot is off the accelerator, fuel is stopped to the engine.

This shifts the engine from combustion, where gas explosions cause motion, to motion causing the engine to turn. Because the engine is still in motion, when the RPM drops below 1500, then engine can resume fuel and begin combustion again.

When you disengage the clutch, the engine is disconnected from the wheels, and requires combustion again to keep running.

I read through some of the content on the github and it seems like good content. I think I'll brush off a dead android that I have at home to take full advantage of the app.

> a house that will endure like a 1920s Craftsman

I haven't looked into how home age and how many of these are left, but could this be survivorship bias in the 1920's home left?

Isn't the opposite then a negative selection bias? If we have N children killed per year doing an activity A, and N anecdotes of children being perfectly okay, neither matter without knowing the denominator of the number of child-activities per year.

Another example: here is a water pumping station disguised as a home in Raleigh, NC: http://wunc.org/post/video-whats-inside-house-wade-avenue

That's neat, I've bookmarked it for now, and will have to find some print to run through it.

What is R2D2 written in?

My wife and I have been using a chromebook as an inexpensive browser at home, with our work laptops if we need anything more intensive (we don't).

We're looking to get one for my mother in law as well, to give her a smoother computing experience.

Cruised through a couple episodes of Value Investing - good stuff. Might be a little in depth for some listeners, but I enjoy it.

I'll have to add value investing. I listen to all of them on 1.5 or 2x, though sometimes I have to slow the Brits down to understand!

Great book - sent the typography for lawyers book as gifts after reading it.

I used to have more, but have dropped a bunch to keep it sustainiable.

I got started with podcasts about a year ago. Great while I'm working on things I don't need to really focus on, walking the dog, driving, etc.

To point 3, I've built a playlist of podcasts that I enjoy. A good way to stay up to date on current events and get different points of view.

Varies, but generally between 8 and 6, with some email checking (~15min)at 6am and 10pm.

The article says that someone considered Senior in the other two areas, once reaching a mid-level of technical competence, would be considered senior overall.

To bring the idea into a couple of the other fields you mention, consider:

A lawyer, just out of law school but with 10 years of software experience and recent work in patent submission.

A doctor, just out of medical school but with 10 years experience as a registered nurse.

An engineer, just out of college but with 10 years in construction, specifically welding structural beams and overseeing other welders.

The one that I have personal experience with is the military. Soldiers respect as senior their peers with significant outside experience, even if the regulations do not allow them to be promoted officially.

You can also consider, among officers, the brand new 2LT who was enlisted for many years prior. While they are a 2LT just as any butterbar, they are respected beyond their rank.

I don't think that the article is claiming that everyone 2 years out of a code bootcamp can be considered a senior developer, but that there are exceptional individuals who can.

I had a resurgence of the LAN party while in Iraq (07/08): the internet access was sufficiently slow, so we played C&C Generals quite a bit.

Are people actively trying to find the creator of bitcoin? Personally I don't care enough to actively find out. If someone presented themselves, then I'll have a passing interest - a few articles, HN comments, etc., but I'm not going to change my day-to-day at all.

While mikeash covered that badly, I'll continue to assume that they cover other topics that we're relatively ignorant about fairly and correctly.

That's an interesting point. I think you may see something similar to tourist districts today where the streets are closed to traffic outside of certain hours. People drive near the area and continue on foot.

Autonomous vehicles may be even better for this, as a person could be dropped off at the closest accessible point, then the vehicle retreats to a lower-density area.

Sent this to my scrum master, hopefully he finds it funny. Or takes it really really seriously.

That's a fantastic page. I was in from '03-'08, and was issued woodland BDUs, desert DCUs, and finally the UCP ACUs. Multicam and the new OCP pattern have come since. I had 2 versions of the PT uniform (which have changed once or twice since), and narrowly avoided having to purchase the new dress uniform.

Overall, the Army needs to find a uniform that it likes and stick with it. Particularly for something that does not affect combat effectiveness (PT, Dress), a single style should be good for decades.

I think that the Army should define a garrison uniform that they can stick with, something along the lines of the BDU with the additional pockets of the ACU. Then define a combat uniform for different terrain or combat theaters as needed.

According to the article at least (which has been pointed out to be one-sided), at least one of the officers empties the first magazine and reloads. This would be 15-17 for the first officer, and the article also notes that the second car arrived after the shooting begun.

I don't know everything that happened, and haven't developed an opinion overall, but it isn't as simple as rounds fired / number of officers.
