I am a particular fan of the Debono books. I swear, debono is unparalled in clear writing. Here are video versions of the two debono books mentioned in Alan Kay's reading list just in case anyone's interested: Lateral Thinking: h

Well, I am on heroku and I have verified that that file is on my heroku instance, so I assume so. Is there a tool I can use to verify that my website is protected?

It seems that heroku already took care of this security problem for us. This is a copy-and-paste of a comment that was left on the github page: seems to be the default on heroku already: Path: /etc/ImageMagick/policy.xml

Yes, ethereum: https://www.ethereum.org/ confirmation times are much, much quicker than bitcoin. Plus you can make the blockchain "programmable" because it adds a turing-complete programming language. It's ge

Do you know where I can find a compiled version of bootstrap 4? I am on boostrap 3, but am about to roll out a site in a few weeks, so I might as well put 4 on if it's that stable.

Has anyone here ever used Lotus Improv? Does this program solve some of the flaws that this article highlights? I keep on hearing how Improv was one of the great programs that never took off, and I'm curious to now try it. For those of

Didn't they pass some law making patent trolling a lot harder to do? People keep telling me this, but this behavior seems to continue.

Dude, this is an awesome talk! Kinda reminds me a lot about Edward DeBono: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jFFZ0XSfCRw He was, in turn, recommended by Alan Kay for learning and creativity: http://www.squeakland.o

Yeah, I covered this: > One can argue that the former is slightly better because the both of us can't read it at the same time, but in my view we're just rationalizing. With books, most of us just lend books when we're don

From a publisher's point of view, you're infringing on their intellectual property. To them, it's no different than simply pirating the book out of piratebay since they'll never see the revenue from it. I think "cas

Yes, and what percent of these killing are justified and/or in self defense? I'd wager the bulk. They have an inherently dangerous profession. Notice, I'm not saying it's ZERO either, but the risk is much lower than, say

Yes, and how many of those shootings were justified? How many of those were in self defense? I'd wager the bulk. I'm not saying unjustified shootings are absolutely ZERO. But it's relatively small in comparison to things like

by steveeq1 11y ago
From a statistical perspective, you are far more likely to shot or beaten up by a black man than you are through a crooked cop. Would you go around telling people you have the same fears towards black people and say this is a fair statement

I keep on hearing about Elixir/Phoenix. What is the advantage of putting this on Elixir vs something like Rails or Laravel?

How is it possible that this guy can read so many books? SICP alone, for me anyway, takes me about a year to get through. And a lot of these books are pretty dense.

Ahh, these are "mental models". Charlie Munger gave a great speech on the advantages of thinking using mental models and how going through them in a checklist fashion makes into some powerful thinking. Speech here: https:/&#

Do you have a statistical source for this assertion?

And you are statistically more likely to be killed by a black man than you are by an actual policeman. I agree with chrisBob in that you shouldn't worry about the dangers of policemen in the same way you shouldnt worry about the danger

Then they would choose not to sue as a matter of principle, not because they didn't not have the resources. Not denying what you are describing as good reasons, I'm just saying that listing "a lack of resources" a reason

I don't get it, don't lawyers work for percentage? Any lawyer would take that case as you described.

How is this even possible though. Don't blacks comprise a disproportionate part of the prison population?

Are you sure this is accurate? Blacks account for over 50% of homicides despite being 14% of the population: http://i.imgur.com/tOTcCRH.jpg I'm not saying "all blacks commit crime", but statistically it seem

Ok, someone educate me on this. Isn't a yield of 0% basically "free money"? What's to stop a bank from just "borrowing" trillions or even zillions?
