I think you're proving his point, which IIUC wasn't that the Bomb was necessary to end WW2, it was that there are differing opinions on whether the Bomb was necessary to end WW2.

The U.S. has always been highly morally questionable - after all, it's one of a few nations founded by a successful genocidal campaign, which we called Manifest Destiny. The perks of being successful with genocide is that you get to define the story as you wish, since there's nobody to call you out on it.

We're not the only country in that boat either, as I think the grandparent post was trying to point out. Japan, if left unchecked, would've happily raped and pillaged all of Korea - they were well on their way already. Russia was just waiting to come in and crush Japan, payback for the Russo-Japanese war 40 years earlier. Germany, of course, started to war in an attempt to exterminate the Jews.
They know that every person who clicks on their add is within the demographic profile they targeted. They do, indirectly, buy that information - and there's no way to operate Google's business model without that remaining true.
Hi,

You're right, the GitHub repo has a pretty well written (I hope) readme:

Pish-posh. How can you complain about the screen not always being on and it not being good for swimming and then refer to Jobs trimming the superflous?

Don't you remember when the iPhone came out? No keyboard! Harumph! It only has a battery life of one day! Harumph! No flash! Harumph!

I mean, do you remember how much of the web was in flash in 2007?

Also, do you remember what was essential about a cellular phone in 2007? It was essential that you make calls and send sms.

That is not what is essential about a cellular phone today. Telling time may not be what is essential about a watch tomorrow.
I've got OED, obsessive Emacs disorder. I can't stop messing with my Emacs configuration to make it "just right". I waste more time programming in Emacs Lisp than I would in just using plain, vanilla Emacs.
> The problem is a few of those patriots actually believe in the Constitution which at this point would make them quite dangerous.

That's exactly the bracket I fit Snowden into.
I can respect that. I use Windows where I have to; I do game dev in a Windows VM (so I can still use a laptop that feels good, I haven't found good Windows hardware). The SP3 isn't a good substitute for that for me, because it's been impossible to find a keyboard/trackpad for it that isn't jokey. The Type Cover isn't a terrible keyboard, but songs could be written about what garbage the trackpad is and so I strictly reserve the SP3 for things where I don't need to type (or at home, where I have a passable BT keyboard that I wouldn't want to carry around the rest of the day).
Is this Craig Wright (FakeToshi) a real Computer Scientist? After reading the PDF I get the impression that he (or the lawyers) have zero clue about blockchain. Or this is just an attempt to troll (Tulip Trading Ltd)?

What am I missing?
I've tried one of those apps (Night Sky?), but I always find it's well out of alignment, stars being much further to the left or right than the app seems to indicate, things being closer together than they seem from my own perspective, etc.

Don't think it's the phone, it's a fairly new one etc (has all the AR bells and whistles on it).
> At some point, you are going to have to use some sort of force to confine or constrain to prevent the child from engaging in unwanted behavior.

Physically confining or constraining is not the same thing as using deliberate infliction of pain as a punishment.

> No matter what flowery language or loopy logic you use to avoid the subject, you are applying force.

Force is not the issue.

> But don't pretend that living in the world requires no discipline at all.

Discipline is a third distinct (but overlapping) category from physical constraint and pain-as-punishment.

Confusing the three different issues is not helpful.
If you read the article it says that Beeple is sending winners of auction items with a physical titanium framed lcd screen, complete with a serial number and QR code linking to the ownership registrar, showcasing the artwork they now own.
Is it irrational for me, an asthmatic who uses budesonide daily, to be worried that the cost of this drug is going to skyrocket and make my prescriptions expensive?
This is what's known as the "lump of labour" fallacy - the idea that there's a fixed amount of work that needs to be done, therefore opening the job market to more workers necessarily lowers wages due to "increased supply".

The reality is that increasing the supply of workers doesn't necessarily mean increased competition for jobs. More people available to work means that more can be produced across the board; each additional worker can create opportunities for further additional workers. The pie can be grown at the same time that it's sliced more ways.
Anonymous threats doesn't harm anyone.
While it's true that the independent claims try to be as broad as possible and dependent claims narrow them down, each claim is still evaluated -- and must be valid -- on an individual basis. And if infringement of a patent is to be determined, you'd start with the independent claims and work your way down, as those have the broadest scope.

So, yes, it does make sense to say that the patent claims what nullc quoted. It's only slightly inaccurate in that the patent also claims a lot more, but the independent claims define the broadest scope.
I didn't say we shouldn't fund it. I said Leavenworth doesn't provide it. edit: wait, were you replying to nhangen?
Hamilton argued that the very existence of the bill of rights invited the expansion of government into all those areas not expressly forbidden therein, but one might question Hamilton's motivations.

That Washington 'quote' cannot be found before 1902. I agree with the sentiment, but false attribution does nothing to help our credibility.
Make perfect sense, since there is no SQL in NoSQL its impossible to have a SQL injection, problem solved...
No, the high end of the 99th percentile is 800 μg/l or .8mg/ liter. 2 liters per day of water is 1.6mg/ day and the TUL is 11mg/ day. Thus adding 50% from ensure and 1.6 / 11 = 14.5% from unusually high water levels is at worst 64.5% TUL and again not a problem.
In the balance between police secrecy of "sources and methods" and government transparency we need to lean heavily towards transparency because preserving democracy is more important than fighting crime.

As technology advances these issues are going to get creepier and scarier and as a society we need to have open debates about the powers that we're willing to grant governments.

Every new crime fighting technology needs to be vetted by the public before police get access to them.

Newbies? Not Google before asking a question on a newsgroup? What's the world coming to?

It's gotten to the point now that when I can't find a question asked previously, I start getting nervous, and 3/4ths of my initial post to a group starts off by explaining how I really did Google, honest! This is what I tried, and I still couldn't find anything, so if it's been asked before, please just point me to the right place, sorry!
One could probably get Scheme to do this and use it to make a kernel. But what would be the point of making it a Unix machine then? Make it a Scheme machine.
I really like the thought. Very fresh!

First things that come to mind are based on the User Experience.
How will it function without being obtrusive? Can you build a relationship with the Check-in user and the publisher/content provider? This is something Facebook cannot currently do with it's like button.

I.E. I click the Like button on your site makes it visible to My friends, but it won't create a "personal connection" between Me and you.
Can your check-in mechanism solve this?

I'm bookmarking this, cause I'd like to see where this goes. It's certainly an intriguing proposition.
Yeah, but you are not looking at the entire situation: you digged in _because_ you valued your coworkers and you grew or had a good emotional bond with them.
"Depending upon the Dell computer your purchase, boot times can be around 30 seconds!"

I'm always slightly embarrassed to read exclamations like this knowing it'll wind up as the laughing stock of Reddit/HN in ten years' time.
The advanced ones just silently hate you. It's not an annoyance worth emailing about, but it is an annoyance.
Not sure I'd call intertwingling the repository/workspace like that, or conflating branches and repositories, "progress". But I suppose it's better than svn/cvs/etc that it's largely taking its users from.

(disclaimer: I work on a VCS that's written in C++ and uses a real database, nice object-oriented libraries, and nice C++ abstractions :)
The problem is not that it's subjective, it's that it leads to unintended conflicts when you try to enforce it.
That is just too cryptic to respond to specifically, but I certainly don't claim that my comments explain everything that is going on.
>Linus, as the namesake for Linux also made a huge impact on the field... and comes off as somewhat of an uncontrolled lunatic.

What? Linus is one of the most Rational, Direct, No-Nonsense, Get Things Done Leader there is. Whenever i hear some self-appointed "expert" pontificate on Leadership/Management/etc. i always think of what Linus would say/do in that situation. People only think of him as a "Technical Guy" but his Leadership/Management of something so vital, so huge, so distributed, with so many "employees" and with so few resources, so many stakeholders is what is amazing to me. Nobody comes close.

You really need to take back the "uncontrolled lunatic" phrase.
Was there a big protest crowd in the parking lot there in the video, or just a bunch of opportunists looting?

I don't recall it being a pattern that marches particularly went through retail districts. In my small town, if you got a large crowd around city hall you'd have people in a retail district because that's where it's located…

That video looks like a typical big box store located off of a freeway or whatever, and just shows people actively engaged in looting.
So Rhode Island shouldn't be a state? Wyoming? What are your requirements for being a State? Should NY or CA be 2 states? Why not?

States aren't allowed to secede, per Lincoln, so operating as a nation is irrelevant. (Texas is special.)

The original US required every state to have access to the ocean, so Colorado and Kansas shouldn't be states.

IDs should really be their own type: string operations don’t really make sense on them. If you use strings, there should probably be a constraint on the acceptable characters and lengths: e.g. only digits, exactly 10 or something like that.

I personally like the idea of using urls using a domain you control + a path that reflects the type of data it’s an ID for.
When you have one thing to nail and already own a hammer, why go and buy another one? Even if it's not a good one, it's gonna do the job, and be the least trouble.
One thing that confuses me is the need for some people to read emotion into nearly everything. This is especially prevalent within the group of people people who tend to prefer Ruby, JavaScript, and languages like those.

When I read soup10's comment, or some of the other comments here expressing a similar take on the matter, I don't see "hatred" involved.

In fact, I see a clear lack of emotion. In place of emotion is a pragmatic and analytical point of view, where the benefits are weighed against the drawbacks, and a conclusion is drawn.

Emotion doesn't really play a role at all in such analysis. It strikes me as odd to see it suggested that emotion is involved, when it pretty obviously isn't.
Hey codingjester. Thanks for pointing that out! You can always hit reply if you see a problem with a report (we read every one).
This is completely wrong. If the students are allowed to use the test bank questions, then it's ethical. If it's not provided to them, or they obtain it surreptitiously, then it's cheating. Practice tests are allowed for the SATs, but previewing the questions was clearly not allowed in this case. These rules are arbitrary, but real. Just because certain exams are open-book, doesn't mean all students are entitled to bring reference materials to all exams.

Rules matter.

PS - That's the difference between school and real life.
tl; dr Collections of objects and maps between them are themselves good objects to consider. So meta, much abstraction, wow.
I think the OP has a valid observation. You don't say "we didn't spend a dime for our software" when you have hired someone to write it for you. Why would it be different for marketing?
I don't think you can generalize the internet to be bad. That's like saying processed food is bad: Yes, we would not have the obesity problems we have now without them, but neither would we have been able to build our civilization as is or be able to be as well nourished as we are.

The direction the net is currently going looks a bit worrying, I definitely agree. But I would not want to miss all the awesome advantages it brings.
I don't care for a flagship phone. I ended up with a Nokia.

While I assume they have it manufactured in China like Apple and the rest of the world it seems, I hope their quality assurance is Europe based.

Honestly though, I will watch the answers here.
I would be such an idiot (in some but not all contexts), highly doubt would learn how to write, let alone basic mathematics, or programming, scientific method would have no meaning in my life, if it not where for the internet.
> What helped immensely to build the habit was to switch to a low-profile keyboard so there is nowhere to rest my wrists.

I feel like changing to a low-profile keyboard also reduces the angle at your wrist which ought to have a same impact as keeping your hands in the air
7% of Americans say they don't use the Internet when polled.

Some unknown percentage of that is the Lizardman's Constant[0], some of them mean "not much", plenty of them use the map on their phone and don't think that's "using the Internet", probably a decent amount who use Facebook to look at pictures of their grandkids but figure they aren't using the Internet because they don't own a computer (if you told them a smartphone is a computer they would look at you funny). Some are religious plain folk and genuinely don't use the Internet, some are retirees who only have a land line (and genuinely don't use the Internet).

You are also somewhat describing C, in one manner of speaking. Yes, C helps you with syntactic approaches to manage stack and locals, but a large amount of written C operates exactly as you describe for a wide, wide variety of useful reasons from embedded to DSP to OS development to performance-sensitive code (when needed).

Most assembly language architectures operate the same way. There are strong arguments for the mechanical symmetry and sympathy this provides. Even Erlang or Haskell or JavaScript eventually operate in such an environment, where “variables” are memory offsets parsed a certain way, because that is the inescapable operating model of a modern computer processor. That being hidden from high-level programmers does not make it primitive; it makes it useful, increasingly arcane, valuable knowledge in the right hands. Until one understands this thoroughly, as in knowing when a C union would be useful, as one example, there is always more to learn to improve even high-level programming.

Primitive is not the right word to use here. Low-level, perhaps, but the antonym of high-level is very rarely “primitive,” depending on what you’re doing. Yours is an interesting take given the article’s context.
Can Java be used to access the FIEMAP or at least inode information to apply this technique in Java software?
Honestly, I wish I could stop using the internet.

I make a lot of things and enjoy sharing them because other people might find them useful. It has often led to wonderful and inspiring conversations. Yet it's obvious there's something very very wrong happening with American culture that began around the time of social media platform consolidation. "Being online" entails a distinct mindset and attitude that is incompatible with in-person socialization, but the two spaces are nonetheless continually mashed together and propagated by various forces in government and media. You have to ask yourself why.

I'm not sure of the answer but it leaves a bad taste in my mouth.
We actually just launched a platform for buying and selling personal tech devices, including wearables. It's a completely open marketplace so buyers and sellers determine the price on everything. Maybe throw up a classified and see what comes of it? https://www.bezilch.com/ Good luck!
I'll stick with my 50 year old cars thanks - this looks shite.
Ah yes, the so-called Metro apps. I believe they were part of the half-assed attempt by Windows 8 to work well with tablets and such.
Interesting, thanks ill research this later. these things didnt even cross my mind

Why doesn't that Android client have the option to keep files sync'd? The whole point of Dropbox IMHO is to have your data when you need it, not maybe-if-I've-got-signal-and-I-can-wait-till-it's-transferred. At the moment The Android dropbox client is just a glorified SFTP client
Well the only known example, the German economy took massive hit with reunification, felt even today. And there was much less of a chasm there in economic, infrastructure, political and social terms.
I wonder what they think about plant death. You do quite literally kill plants when you rip them out of the ground and take a bite out of them. Even if you only ate nuts or beans you are still killing off their unborn child plants.
You're just preaching american exceptionalism. The companies wantonly ignoring it (or applying a ton of dark patterns to it) are the same ones that have always been exploiting you in the vilest ways they can. In other words, it has nothing to do with the legislation (which to answer your question has in fact had a very large impact).

I think it’s more like Tor traffic is 99.9999% less profitable.

“Legit” Users likely block ads, are unlikely to enter their credit card numbers because of MITM shenanigans and it’s one of the few browsers that takes non-fingerprintability of its users seriously.
I think the point is that you're intentionally distancing yourself from them before the interaction even begins.

You're treating them as a threat to your life that interacts through a screen.

I have a camera and doorbell but it doesn't replace the actual interaction, it just means I'm a bit more prepared for who it is and how urgently I need to be there. Zigbee button and a relay switch I can just turn on/off triggered from it.
Why should 10/3 and -10/-3 yield the same result?

I do not see where this would be of any use.

On the other hand, if you want a quotient that has some meaningful relationship with the ratio between the dividend and the divisor, there are other more sensible definitions of the integer division than the one used in modern programming languages.

You can have either a result that is a floating point number even for integer dividend and divisor, like in Algol, or you can define the division to yield the quotient rounded to even (i.e. with a remainder that does not exceed half of the divisor).

In both cases 10/3 and -10/-3 would yield the same result and I can imagine cases when that would be useful.

For the current definition of the integer division, I do not care whether 10/3 and -10/-3 yield the same result. It does not simplify any algorithm that I am aware of, while having a remainder of a known sign simplifies some problems by eliminating some tests for sign.
You can do both or even no TLS if you want. It's easy to choose so on the domain preferences (it's only per domain, AFAIK)

This includes pushing ads to the standard Android notification bar, dropping generically designed icons on the mobile desktop, and modifying browser settings like bookmarks or the default homepage," explains Lookout.

Wait, seriously? Perhaps I'm too accustomed to iOS, but I wouldn't expect a smartphone app to change the browser homepage.
Yeah. IB first shipped in, what, 1988? A time when interface builders were sufficiently rare that it didn't seem generic to name the product Interface Builder.
