I didn't get this from the article.
I understood the issue to be:
1. It is undisputed that the lottery is required to display odds (return $$s per $$s spent).
2. It is undisputed that the lottery displays the theoretical maximum return given optimal play
3. The lottery supports a feature that does not play optimally
4. The issue: Should the lottery be required to display the rate of return given the use of auto-play?
My ebook purchases also skyrocketed after I got a Kindle. But it didn't rise because the kindle made it easy to buy ebooks, or even because I prefer ebooks (for technical stuff, I actually don't). It's because I was reading a lot more. I went from 1 or 2 books a year (if even) to 1 to 2 books a week.
My experience is anecdotal, but it might be worthwhile to ask your acquaintances why they buy so many ebooks after buying a Kindle.
State lawyers are well versed in state law. As this is a state case, involving state law, a Texas lawyer would be required to make knowledgable statements on the case. A lawyer of another state or country could likely recognize some similar language, but would not be well versed in Texas law.
This would be like someone commenting on a Java article by saying, "I'm not a programmer, let alone a Java programmer."
Without being too specific, you should assume that Large stores already do this. Any store claiming to have "in store wifi" is almost guaranteed to be tracking you through your mac address.
The system that I'm familiar with only tracks where you're going. It didn't (as of a couple months ago) have any way of linking your mac back to a consumer profile.
Mine had 1 classroom devoted to computer classes. These computers were Windows NT workstations. Students logged in with normal accounts (not administrators) but there were no other restrictions.
That isn't to say that they didn't lock down any computers. They did. The library computers were essentially chrome books. All you could do was run IE and Word.
Windows makes this a little easier than bash does.
batch scripts in windows behave like scripts on unix do when you source them. That means that you can write a batch script called "foo.bat" with the contents of "cd \whatever\directory\you\please" and it will change your current directory when run.
From there, it would not be difficult to write a batch script that in turn wrote batch scripts like "foo.bat" above.
With bash, you would have to create functions or aliases to get the same effect.
I occasionally do interviews for my company, and I use Github in the manner that fecak describes.
Before the interview, I will check out your stuff and make sure I have compilers/interpreters for your favorite languages (as best I can identify them). Then I will do a combination of live coding, and talking about repositories that might have caught my eye.
In this kind of situation "Why did I do it that way? Because I wanted to see what would happen" Is a great answer. It leads into a discussion about what happened, and whether or not you would do it again (without waiting half an hour for you to work through a problem of my devising). I could not care less whether the code was good or bad if you can show that you analyzed the experience and learned from it.
Part of writing good code is having written bad code in the past. I get that. I'm a programmer myself.
Now, we do not use Github as a filter (as the article discourages). If you put your Github in your resume, I will use it to make the interview itself a more valuable experience for both of us. If you chose not to put your Github on your resume, then you will get the generic interview, and I might not have your text editor/IDE ready to go.
I have two macs that both run emacs. I have a private git repository for my .emacs.d folder (an old mirror can be found here: https://github.com/elarkin/.emacs.d ). I have taken special care to make sure that the init.el file is readable, and can be used with a fresh copy of emacs (without any packages installed) and everything works just fine.
If you want to try it, just brew install emacs --cocoa and clone the repo to ~/.emacs.d
A coworker and I trade snippets of elisp for our configurations over email, and whenever I update the repo on one machine, the other needs to pull it down and evaluate the file (eval-buffer)
I have not found sharing customizations of emacs to be very difficult, but I also don't use any god packages like emacs starter-kit, or prelude (which I haven't heard of). I have let my configuration grow organically.
I've taken to using Chrome for Flash. It includes Pepper, a Google maintained version of Flash. You will never be presented with an Adobe Reader prompt again.
BrainTree does payments. They have concerns about security that most apps do not. Who really cares if bugged timeout/retry logic makes your app post twice to facebook? Probably no one. Who cares if bugged timeout/retry logic makes your app bill them twice? Probably everyone.
BrainTree and you may not make the same decision, and you both could be right.
