The same newspaper reported that Germany's BND had active wire taps on 2 US secretaries of state, (Hillary) Clinton and Kerry, as well heavily spying on NATO members like Turkey.

Snowden's own documents showed many EU countries (including all of the enlightened Nordic ones) who actively supported the US spying in order to gain intelligence on their own citizens and on other EU members, heck Denmark joined the NSA programme to spy on freaking Belgium.

The harsh truth is that everyone spies, even Iceland has some dude in an office some where who's in charge of their intelligence gathering. The means and effectiveness vary between nations but considering that the UK, Germany and France have intelligence services which are considered amongst of the best in the world only a fool would write this off as some US fling due to post cold war PTSD.
Taleb was very precise in what he said, and he didn't say anything like what you are attributing to him. There wasn't any real nuance, he really just said it was a good idea to short treasuries:

Alternatively, if people devoted their time to writing drivers/fixing issues on platforms where the creators were happy to take their contributions (i.e. any pc manufacturer that has no vested interest in a competing OS), then the improvements might be longer lived.

There are other "teams" you could be on: drama departments, school bands, etc.
Sometimes it's important to realize just how little we know and clearly define it. Knowing that you don't know, knowing why you should, and understanding the inherent difficulties standing in the way of an explanation is 99% of getting there.
It's very very slow.
Sweet! I've got this other problem, though--I really enjoy sunshine. Anyone got a cure for that?
File it as a bug. It's in the menu and only a click away.
They should remake these. Imagine we didn't all loathe them for a second, what would you include if you made them today?
Specifically, time on site.
Those are all nice things and represent countless man hours or work and dedication however none of them are a good flagship. Firefox is a flagship. Gimp is close but somehow took a wrong turn. The FSF needs something to say "use this it's awesome! btw free software is why it's awesome!" And they need to be able to convince at least the average power user.
I reviewed it back in 2006. It has not changed much since, though it has some graphics subsystem and USB improvements: http://neosmart.net/blog/2006/reactos-the-next-windows/

Screenshots of ReactOS (it BSODs too!): http://neosmart.net/gallery/album/view/os/ROS/

I'm surprised not to see mention of this though in the comments here: ReactOS is now "dead" as it is being rewritten to use the wine project as the actual codebase. The aforementioned slowness in development is the primary cause. The new project is codename ARWINSS: http://www.reactos.org/wiki/Arwinss
Indeed. There are a fair number of these out there, and they've been out there for several years now. I've encountered four different ones in just Boston's Back Bay. I'm sure if you hunted around you'd find plenty more in just the Boston metro. Though like most exotic and semi-exotic cars, my guess is about 30-60% of all production ends up in Southern California.
Maybe the first question is whether it's assault. It's assault in Canada, at least, because the doctor was abusing his authority in order to touch you. This removes any possibility of consent.
I think its a common theme for people to worry about it - through no malicious intent of your own, ie through circumstances, a lapse in judgement whilst driving etc

idiomatic Clojure wrapper from the developer of Aleph - https://github.com/ztellman/calx

I have to say, running Clojure on instances like these for a couple hours at a time to get a sense of what Clojure offers in terms of concurrency and parallelism on a 8-core machine with gobs of RAM is great fun - http://dosync.posterous.com/clojure-multi-core-amazon-cluste....

It's the kind of computing excitement I imagine Lisp Machine users had.
Quite fair! Google code is sweet
Journalism has a long history of using anonymous sources so knowing the source is not a necessary item. In a lot of ways, I don't see as much distinction as you do between anecdotes and philosophy particularly with the writings of people who were talking about governing people.
There is a huge advantage for the powers-that-be, to be able to treat everyone like a criminal first and get most of the public to go along with it "for their safety".

TSA "enhanced pat down" is basically what they do when they book people into jail, except there they do it with you naked. So the ironic part is if you refuse it, a few hours later they are probably going to be doing it to you anyway, just with you naked.

The more laws there are out there, the more likely you are breaking one, whether it's flying, taxes, etc. and then they get the "troublemakers" in the system no matter how innocent.

Far more clever than anything the KGB did iron-fisted eh?
Ramen-style about 600€/month (living with a roommate, prepare your own meals -> maybe it could be even lower if don't go out at all, don't buy new clothes, ride a bike instead of public transportation... )

Have your own space, go out sometimes, take cab once in a while... about 1.200€+/month (obviously open end).

Add at least another 130€/month for health insurance.

Unfortunately I don't know about any python gigs but if you are familiar with RoR, let me know... As a freelancer (RoR) you should get something between 300€ - 800€ / day (deepending on your experience).

They are/will be done with RoR and are sometimes looking for programmers (mostly freelancers). If interested I might be able to help here.
If money is no object, commodity stereo equipment exists with better range than the Kinect. From Wikipedia:

The Kinect sensor has a practical ranging limit of 1.2–3.5 metres
(3.9–11 ft) distance when used with the Xbox software.

The Kinect was limited by cost, size, and the need to work in poor lighting conditions. But by spacing your higher-quality cameras out (increasing the baseline), accurate depth at 10 meters is a reasonable goal.

One such device: http://www.ptgrey.com/products/bumblebee2/index.asp

Using a schema to frontend/backend form validation sounds totally awesome from a "don't repeat yourself" perspective.

If that code becomes worthy of public release, I'd bet it could dramatically raise the profile of JSON Schema.

Free Maya? Last I heard it was $20/month for LT, and that's the no-raytracer version for making game assets.

Alternately, around $800 upfront for an already outdated copy of LT that's missing features like the Unreal Engine exporter. Because screw anybody who wants to buy software instead of renting it.

EDIT: Maya LT costs $30/month and the "buy an outdated version" option is being terminated after this year. $20/month is the rate if you pay for a 1-year subscription upfront. The version with rendering is $185/month.
Look at all the people making and selling hats for TF2 or gun skins or whatever. Valve already started the idea of creating value from its software users - creating an entire economy. People get the tools and game for free and only have to invest their time to make money. Epic is doing something similar with Unreal Tournament. Making it open source and creating a marketplace to sell your own games/modifications. There are a lot of examples like this.

Who knows how pervasive that kind of system will become. Will it apply to other industries/mediums? Could Reddit or Hacker News find a way to pay individuals for well regarded content? There are some possibilities here.

But I wonder if that kind of system can really support that many people. Most of the content created sucks, right? Then only a really small number would actually be successful. Maybe you'd have to incentivize sorting through content to find the good stuff a la Steam Greenlight (and find a way to pay users for their work).

Anyways, I'm sure people will find something to do. Even if it's just being paid a basic income for nothing in return. I think peoples' standards of living have been improved by technology (nukes and what not notwithstanding). Why expect that trend to stop now? It's just that, from our relatively medieval point of view, it's hard to imagine what that world will look like so we're naturally scared of it. That's also not to suggest that there won't be serious growing pains while we all collectively try to figure this new world out.
You don't have to be successful to have committed a crime, and you definitely don't have to be competent
I wasn't advocating any particular position in my previous comment.

But to answer your question, no, I would not be OK with that. Utility companies (in the United States at least) are typically contracted by cities to provide service, and regulated by a public utility commission as well as various laws. I assume denial of service over social media would violate a number of regulations or contractual obligations. And I agree with that.

Now if you're really asking whether or not various service providers should be regulated as utilities and obligated to provide service to everyone, that's a much more difficult (and vague) question that I don't have a easy answer for.
Genuine question: how many documented instances are there of Covid transmission in a public park or similar outdoors, non-enclosed, low-density environments?

Neither you nor any Signal dev knows what I want (i.e., what security vs convenience tradeoffs I am willing to make). I will choose the tool that allows me to use it in the way I want to use it.
After installing the phone version, I just tried the Desktop version on Debian. It doesn't work: fails to connect because none of the machines I have (even the Windows one!) is able to trust the digital certificate from https://textsecure-service.whispersystems.org/v1/config . I mean, I could try to add the certificate to the exception list, but when it comes to stuff like Signal I feel I shouldn't be doing any of this at all. And their website has no mention about adding certificates to my chain.

I wanna try to move away from Whatsapp too, but when your "Secure" app fails to work because no one trusts your digital certificate, I inevitably start questioning your claims of both quality and security... Everybody will stick to the old product if the new one isn't polished....
They did, however, act like fools by selling to Facebook and assuming WhatsApp stayed ethical.
Their version of push-to-talk is useless since, like you mentioned, you have to keep Zoom in focus. I don't know about you, but I never had Zoom in focus when I used it. I was always multi-tasking.
I hope not. If they demonstrate that capability and word gets out then that will end their business. If they can give law enforcement access to your passwords then the employees of the company have access to the passwords too.
I followed a polyphasic sleep pattern for maybe 2 months, and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.

There are the more obvious obstacles: your friends, family, and co-workers don't follow the same schedule. It's lonely for anyone who values social connection. Unless you work on your own, the workplace is a bad environment for sleep.

There are also potential health concerns for certain polyphasic sleep schedules. Most polyphasic sleepers don't sleep a full ~8.5 hours in a day. Your body uses sleep to refresh your body and keep the body (particularly the circulatory system) running strong. On my schedule, I started by sleeping about 5 hours. I was monitoring my blood pressure, and while it remained within a healthy range (I was in my mid twenties) the variance was much greater than it was on 8.5 hours. When I went to sleep late at night, my BP was quite low.

The long-term health effects aren't well known - there aren't many people to study, and a clinical trial would be all but impossible (people would likely not adhere to it). We can make some guesses, though. For one thing, you're altering the way melatonin and cortisol work in your system. Messing with your body's chemical and hormonal balance usually doesn't turn out well for health.

We have one group to compare with: people who work night shifts. Studies have shown they're at increased risks for heart problems, ulcers, obesity, depression, some cancer, other gastrointestinal diseases, and possibly more. (Just Google it or use Scholar: http://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=en&q=night+shift+worker...) I certainly experienced depression.

There are other things that are just annoying. As someone else stated, coffee is a bad idea, and so is alcohol, and I enjoy both. Most people will have to decide between holding to a schedule or attending others' events. You'll probably either eat worse at night or have to cook more. Nothing is open when you're awake. The list goes on.

I don't recommend it, but if you DO think you want to try it, still, here are some suggestions:

-You must have a completely dark room to sleep in during the daytime.

-Avoid coffee and alcohol. In fact, cut coffee and alcohol out before you change your sleep schedule. Doing both (especially if you rely on coffee) will be quite a shock.

-To adhere to the schedule, you'll have to think of what you're going to do when no one you know is awake. You need to schedule things.

-Don't forget to schedule social things. I tried to be wake up before 7 PM when many social things seem to start.

It's been probably years since I've used Google search. It's entirely possible that I'm not getting desired results, but as far as I've been able to tell. It's entirely possible that because I don't end up on answers, I end up (most of the time) going directly to read source code and documentation more often than not. This seems to have helped created something of a better understanding of whatever tech I'm using at the time.

The SFUSD school board has, at this point, become essentially a caricature of what conservatives think liberals are like. They're like if you took a strawman argument and willed it into reality.

It's really a shame, I hope they can be recalled somehow.
If true, that’s bad and hypocritical, but good on Economist for having the balls/freedom to speak up anyway.
>Not slaughtering them makes no difference to whether it's genocide.

In terms of the definition adopted in various official contexts this is obviously correct. But the problem is in terms of discourse "genocide" has a much more specific connotation for most of the public and it's all too easy to (deliberately or not) to conflate the two things - making the issue harder to discuss.

If you'll forgive a controversial analogy - it's like the term sexual assault. Clearly sexual assault in legal terms has to include unwanted sexual touching of any degree. No doubt. But if I say "I am a sexual assault survivor" then this inevitably conjures up images very different to the truth (which is : my bum was pinched a few times in nightclubs two decades ago). In the case of sexual assault modifiers like "serious" or "minor" get used because clearly there is a big range of possibilities here. And although my experience was sexual assault, it's intellectually dishonest for me to put it like that (at least not without heavy explanation).

Similarly with genocide, if (to use your least severe hypothetical example) the only issue was an above average number of children from one ethnic group being taken into care and placed with foster families of another ethnic group then it would feel dishonest to say (in public discussions) that that was a genocide (by itself). (Note : That is NOT what is happening here, I am merely responding to your example)

I don't know enough about the Uyghur situation to say myself but maybe "genocidal practices" might be more appropriate, I don't know. It feels poor taste to call anything "a minor genocide".
Windows 7 w/o Admin rights allows changing layout, I have checked a minute ago.

I do not know about AZERTY and about Chinese/Japanise keyboards, if somebody can answer this question I would appreciate any answers useful for my research in Dvorak. I can answer about Russian language - it has too many vowels for comfortable alterating hands, and it has 33 letters that makes aesthetics of typing this language very different from the one of English. For example, Russian layout has no {}[]<>$^&`~|@# special symbols which makes Russian layout incompatible for creating programming languages. That is why I do not bother learning touchtyping for my mother language, but I know there is some layouts about arranging Russian letters using August Dvorak's ideas. Maybe I should give them a try.

What about QWERTY users like you, I have some experience of teaching some ppl to Dvorak touchtyping, and I realized that the older you are the less profit you will gain from switching, and the younger you are the more profit you will gain from _not_ learning QWERTY. If you want to type like hunt-and-peck than there is no difference at all, but for learning to your first touch-typing experience, the difference between the layouts is crucial.

You have induced an interesting question for me - is paintings a hardware issue or something else like maybe a believe issue. I appreciate good questions, but firstly I need any hypothetical answers on the question in title.
Civilizations have fallen before, and I worry that this trend of attacking free speech will be looked back on as an early stage in the fall of our current world. It's becoming a cliche now that cyberpunk dystopias more and more resemble our current world

I've been working on an algorithmic trading system using machine learning, it is not HFT currently. It is currently daily (24h+ held equities), the intra-day side (~5-60 minute held equities) will come very quick after I feel comfortable with the machine learning side of things. The source of data will change, and a few tweaks to the actual trading system and it will be running intra-day. The HFT will only come around once I can get a small colo that can achieve the necessary <40ms transactions to get the benefit of the pre-window before orders actually hit the open market.

Sorry the interface was thrown together over a weekend (The actual back-end application was the primary focus for the last year as it was just me looking at it via command line) and quickly designed it with a large AJAX load at the beginning, I'll eventually change it to a static load then do ajax polling to update the data.

I cannot recommend any particular reading sources as I've been working with my financial buddies, that have been feeding me tips and doing my own discovery on the internet.

This was just a side project of mine but has turned into a really nice application. It is always calculating the better strategies (out of over 50 possible different methods/functions with variables ranging from 0-260 that are used to indicate open and close signals in any number of combinations). It has improved its strategy over the last week taking it from estimating ~60% to ~70% gains YTD. I have no doubt it will eventually get over 100%.

I'd love to collaborate with anyone wanting to get into this stuff as I'm flying solo.
You can buy historical 'tick data'. Be forewarned, however, that simulations run on this kind of data are not the same as real trading since it doesn't reflect the bid/ask. Also in my opinion and experience, price alone is insufficient data for analysis. Also don't forget to figure in total execution cost as it makes a huge difference in the evaluation of algorithms, not to mention the 'bank roll' necessary to allow any 'edge' to play out. Trading simulations are an engaging software problem, but they aren't such a great approximation of actual trading, at least in my experience.
For large aerospace projects, the critical decisions are made years before first flight, and most often even years before experimental production start. Judging from the timeline Mullenberg clearly inherited the messy decisions from his predecessor.

Though of course he would have had the knowledge to understand something didn’t smell quite right after. Whether he had the sole authority to order a delay or redesign in the intervening time is questionable. It may have been that he couldn’t wrangle enough support from the board to do something dramatic.

I miss monzo so much :(

I moved out of the UK and sadly never found a real alternative.

I had a simple workflow that made me happy:

I had two budgets, one for fixed spenses such as rent and phone, another for everything else (food, taxi, entertainment, whatever). I'd divide my "everything else" budget by 30 and tell monzo to move everyday that amount into the credit card account.

So basically... A daily budget. It was something like 20-30 pounds per day.
I wanted something more expensive than usual? I'd "save" for a few days.

It's not the most efficient budgeting, but it was so much fun.
